JKC 63 Layers
The JKC 63 Layer Damascus Collection is forged by sandwiching a sheet of High Carbon Chrome Vanadium (HCCV) stainless steel between 31 Layers of Nickel stainless on either side. The HCCV central core has .8% – .95% Carbon and the ability to hold a considerably more enduring edge (usually 40% – 60% longer) than the finest Western knives. The multiple layers are twisted drilled and compressed several times during the layering process; once ground and treated with Aqua Regia (a mild acid solution), intricate wood like patterns appear that mesmerise the eye.
The final tempering to 58:60 HRC a blade capable of being honed to an edge so sharp it would be at home in any surgeons hand. The soft 31 layers on either side protect the fine central core. The inherent quality of the HCCV steel to produce small carbides combined with the softness of the outer layers makes this one of the easiest knives to re sharpen. Furthermore, the small carbides produce an ultra silky smooth edge rendering textures virtually imperceptible.
