Al Mar Kitchen Knives, Ultra Chefs knivesThe Al Mar stainless steel Ultra Chief Knives feature one piece, ergonomic designed, hollow, stainless steel handles that contribute to a near perfect balance between blade and handle. The Damascus patterned blade utilizes 33 outer layers of stainless steel laminations with a center cutting section of VG-10 cobalt stainless steel. The blade is heat treated to bring the VG-10 core to an astounding Rockwell hardness of 60-62 degrees. Combined with outstanding Rockwell hardness and a polished razor edge cutting edge, the Ultra Chief series is designed to please the pickiest gourmet cook.
Editor's note; the Al Mar Ultra Chiefs knives are very light weigh, much lighter than they look. The stainless Damascus patterned blade is randomized as to laminations and gives one the feel of a layered samurai sword or custom forged knife.
Damascus steel, is a way of combining soft steel with hard steel to acquire the benefits of both. In the example of the Ultr Chief knives the softer steel is in the outer laminations and they give strength and flexibility to the blade and the center core of VG-10 which is much harder (Rockwell 60-62) takes and holds an ultra sharp edge which stays sharp much longer than softer steels.
