Sultan 6in Chef's Knife (VG10)
The Sultan 6" Damascus kitchen knife is a versatile intermediary between large Chef's knives and smaller paring knives. It features an ergonomic handle suited for a variety of grip as well as a full-tang blade. The 67-layer Damascus blade has a core of legendary VG-10. Its metallic composition creates a long-lasting durable and incredibly sharp blade. The Sultan is perfectly balanced - its weight combined with our straight-cut edge creates a very pleasurable cutting experience.
The Zayka Sultan knife series employs legendary VG-10 steel, originally designed in Takefu, former sword-making capital of Japan’s Fukui Prefecture. This is a relatively hard steel, at 58-60 HRC, and will therefore maintain an impeccable edge in traditional kitchen environments. To create the Damascus pattern and to protect the VG-10 core, 33 layers of a nickel stainless steel are added to each side of the blade. This is called “Laminate Damascus” and it ensures that the knife is virtually stainless, unlike traditional Damascus.
