For the first time, Japanese suminagashi multi-layer steel* is also available as bar stock. Thanks to a medial layer of white paper steel, this multi-layer material is ideally suited to forging high-grade fully integral knives. However, it also lends items of jewellery or works of decorative art fascinating aesthetics thanks to its vivid Damascus pattern. Ideally suited to forging or forge-welding, middle layer of white paper steel ca. 5 mm, incl. heat treatment instructions. Rectangular bar. * C=1.2%, S<0.004%, P<0.025%, final hardness approx. 62 Rockwell, surface layers of non-hardening, low-alloyed iron
