Paring Blade SHD315 Stainless Damascus steel - 2 x 30 x 180 mm

Stainless Damascus steel blade for making your own knife

Description

Stainless Damascus steel blade blank designed for making your own knife.

The construction combines a hard cutting core made of martensitic stainless steel with a higher carbon and chromium content for good edge retention, with outer layers of tougher stainless steel that contribute to the blade's strength and durability.
The blade core is hardened to 60–61 HRC, providing a balanced combination of long edge life and good resistance to damage during normal use.
The blade is ready for fitting a handle and final sharpening, with no further machining required. It provides an ideal foundation for building a Japanese-style kitchen knife with an attractive Damascus pattern.

Japanese kitchen knives are highly regarded for their blade geometry, which allows precise, clean cuts with very little cutting resistance. The Paring knife is a small Japanese kitchen knife designed for everyday precision work with fruit, vegetables and other small ingredients. Thanks to its short and lightweight blade, it allows precise slicing, peeling and delicate decorative work. In everyday use, it is a versatile small kitchen knife designed primarily for hand-held food preparation tasks.
