Located in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, **Ryusen Hamono** crafts this exquisite knife, incorporating the traditional techniques of **Echizen Uchihamono**. This **Santoku knife** is made using **Chromax**, a hybrid material combining iron and stainless steel. While it is more resistant to rust than iron, it is slightly more prone to rusting than stainless steel. However, it develops a unique patina that cannot be achieved with other types of steel. ### **Knife Specifications** - **Origin**: Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture (Echizen Hamono) - **Type**: Santoku - **Blade Length**: 170mm - **Steel**: Chromax - **Handle**: Black laminated wood **Chromax** is a semi-stainless steel produced by Takefu Special Steel. The core material is **VG-1** and is clad with a steel equivalent to **SU410S**, forming a **three-layer composite steel**. **VG-1** contains **5% chromium (Cr)**, making it significantly more corrosion-resistant than carbon steels like **White Steel** or **Blue Steel**. It is highly resistant to rust, boasts exceptional sharpness, and has outstanding edge retention. The name **"Chromax"** comes from the fact that chromium (Cr) has been added to the maximum level without compromising sharpness. ### **Chemical Composition** - **C (Carbon)**: 1% - **Mn (Manganese)**: 1% - **Cr (Chromium)**: 5% - **Mo (Molybdenum)**: 1% - **V (Vanadium)**: 0.5% The **hardness** of Chromax ranges from **HRC 58 to 61**. Over time, under certain conditions, the surface of the steel may develop a **dark patina**, but this does not penetrate internally. Chromax is widely used in **high-end professional knives**, proving its reliability and performance. Experience the excellence of **Ryusen Hamono's craftsmanship** for yourself!

Damascus steel is famous in the world of knives. Its woodgrain-like pattern is very popular, and it is often out of stock. Damascus steel is made by layering many thin steel sheets in a mille-feuille style and sharpening them to create the woodgrain pattern. Damascus steel itself is a steel material made in ancient India, and knives currently on the market are sold with a "Damascus finish" or "Damascus pattern" that resemble the image of Damascus steel.

It can be confusing because knife manufacturers use terms such as "Damascus finish," "sumigashi," "forged surface," and "laminated steel," but basically they are all the same kind of product.
