Precision Performance & Damascus Artistry

The Saiun series features a breathtaking 65-layer Damascus blade. At its heart lies a VG10 steel core with 1% carbon content, providing extreme hardness for long-lasting sharpness. This core is meticulously encased in 32 layers of softer steel on each side, creating a unique wavy pattern that ensures no two blades are exactly alike. The “Hamaguri-ba” (convex) edge, inspired by traditional Samurai swords, allows for effortless, precise straight cuts through any ingredient.
