Description
About Korin Nickel Damascus
The Korin Nickel Damascus Line is one of Korin’s new line of Japanese Damascus knives. The elegant blade is constructed out of 33 layered steel with a V-10 steel. This line has gained popularity for its beautiful design, hard steel, stain resistant qualities and long edge retention. The symmetrical 50:50 double edged blade is suitable for both right and left handed individuals. It’s unique Micarta handle design allows the user to fully grip the handle. It's wider blade profile puts more emphasis on the rocking motion. This unique blade profile is also great for users transitioning from European style knives to Japanese style knives. The beautiful Damascus pattern resembles the mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Damascus blades hold a reputation for having a long lasting edge retention and capable of being sharpened to a sharp, resilient edge.
