Our Hattori Damascus Chef's Knife (Santoku) is the finest of its type. The blade is hand forged from Cowry X powdered steel laminated between two pieces of Damascus patterned material made of alternating layers of nickel and stainless steel. In all, the blade consists of more than 360 layers. The blades are individually heat treated and tempered to Rockwell 63-65. This process gives a blade with an exceptionally sharp long lasting edge. The handle is resin impregnated black linen micarta with a nickel bolster to enhance the beauty of the knife. To protect your investment, each knife is sent in a wooden box with the maker's chop (stamp) of authenticity. Blade length is 7˝ and overall length is12˝.
Hattori History
Over 30 years ago Tadashiro Hattori began supplying knives on an OEM basis to top Western knife makers. For example, he manufactured the Techna TK-2200 and a folding field knife used by U.S Navy Special Forces. Moreover, he has supplied knives used in movies like the Terminator and the Rambo series. A few years ago he began making knives under his own Hattori label. Mr. Tadashiro invented the Damascus metal process which consists of nickel and stainless steel forge welded by hand into multiple thin layers to create the Damascus pattern. He states that all of his KD30 series of Kitchen knives are strictly made by hand, and no two blades are exactly the same
