What is San Mai Steel and How to MakeIt?

What is San Maisteel? San Mai steel is, in many ways, like Damascus steel—it’s well known forincredible levels of durability despite being forged and cut down into blades,and they have exceptional cutting power. The process by which San Mai steel ismade is entirely different, however, and it results in a unique set ofattributes that other varieties of steel do not have.

San Mai steel isJapanese in origin and aims to achieve specific goals in its composition andconstruction process. Its name, translated from the original Japanese, roughlycomes to mean “three parts”, which is a very apt description for the makeup ofthese blades. The makeup of the blade is rather simple; the central core of theblade (the part that becomes the edge) is made with a harder steel, whereas thetwo outer edges beyond that point are made up of a milder, more pliable steel.Its these materials that are what San Mai steel is made of.

This method ofcreating blades combines the best aspects of both varieties of steel andcreates a blade with traits few others have. The hard metal steel at the centerof the blade provides it with a sharp, sheer edge that’s perfect for slicingand cutting, whereas the milder steel surrounding it gives the blade shockresistance and helps prevent the blade from shattering, which is a commonproblem with blades made of pure hard steel. This interplay of differentelements gives a San Mai blade it’s unique and legendary reputation. The makeupof the blade is only half of the story, though. The method by which it’s madeis just as important to the creation of a San Mai steel blade.

To create San Maiblades, metalsmiths go through a specific process that give these blades theirwell-known and well-recognized properties. To answer the question of how tomake San Mai steel, we need to cover how smiths identify its components. Theway metalsmiths pick out which steel to use for the center and the outerportions is based on their carbon density—the more carbon in the steel, the“harder” it is. Once the proper varieties of steel are found, the harder metalwill be sandwiched between two equivalent slabs of the milder metal, then theyare forged to bond them together. If done properly, sharpening the blade willjust barely expose the central, harder steel to create the sheer edge, whereasthe milder, more shatter-resistant metal creates a defensive coat around it.Hopefully this in-depth explanation has helped answer the common question of“What is San Mai steel?”

Under \"REX 121 (Crucible)#5\" video\'s comment on YouTube - https://youtu.be/wDkZxRSgBXU:

This knife is awesome ...I did pickup a Mr.Andrew\'s with a similar etching and polished blade but with a s390 corewith 95X18 stainless steel jacket and it also has the wave pattern. It alsosays 67 hrc on the outer edge along with the blade steel “s390\". The onlything I don\'t like with mine is the detent is kind a weak but mine has a slotthrough the blade and it is perfect for doing a reverse flip, it Flys out harddoing the reverse middle finger flip.

If someone boughtfirstknife, HE (SHE) ALWAYS will BUY THE SECOND (see the last photo fromMr.vetse45220(France)and read his review!):

  • I am happy with this purchase. The knife is amazing !!!!. The knife is light not heavy, the shape of the handle is perfect for my hand. The blade is ideal for hunting, it is just as handy as a kitchen knife. The steel S390 keeps its sharpness. I highly recommend this type of knife to whoever likes hunting. It brings me joy working with it. Nonetheless I wanna thank Tim for being a good seller.

  • Quickly received exactly what I ordered, no issues! I will also add, if you are hesitant to order this knife because you have never heard of it, don’t be! This is my second knife from this maker, both with the s125v blade, and they are great! The edges are as sharp as my Rockstead Chi and the edge might last nearly as long. I love both of the knives I have bought from Andrew Blacksmith.

  • Highest quality, very satisfied! Communication with the seller is great. Very recommend!
  • Additionally, under the video on YouTube this client wrote the following:

Ihave one of these. I saw it pop up on a couple months ago andIcouldn’t findanything about it anywhere.

Iwas offered a discount and decided to take a chance.

WhenI first received it and opened thebox,I was thinking Ihadbeen scammed! It is super light for its size and felt plasticity! Theblade is mirror polished but seems chrome plated compared to the Rock steadChiI own.

Itdoes have fast, smooth blade action though.

Oneday, feeling that it wasn’t what it was claimed to be, I was outside moving atrail camera and needed to trim away some branches. I used it to chop awaybranches up to 3 inches thick! The blade, which is super sharp,slicedright throughthem without a single hiccup! I just wiped offthe blade after words and went on with life. No chips on the edge and it didn’tdull one bit!

So,maybe it is the quality of knife they say it is, and the steel, is S125V!

Iam carrying both of my USA-Market knives today; I love these things! I do wishI could find more information about them though! What is their reputation inRussia? Are they considered something like Benchmade or Zero Tolerance here inAmerica or are they thought of as high-end knives? Either way I am happy withthem, and they are holding up great.

Our respond:

USA-Marketis a brand that searches for the best products in Russia and presents them toAmerican buyers. USA-Market is not a manufacturer! We just found Mr. AndrewBlacksmith for you, guys 😊.
