Twist San Mai

Twist San Mai Damascus steel pairs layered AEB-L and 302 stainless steel jackets with a solid AEB-L or Nitro-V core, depending on the billet. Its flowing silver layers and bold elongated figures run across the flat bar, giving custom knife blades a distinctive directional pattern. Grinding a bevel reveals the solid core while the Twist pattern continues through the jacket. This San Mai construction combines the look of patterned Damascus with a solid core for the blade’s cutting edge. Forged in Las Vegas, Nevada, by Vegas Forge, Twist San Mai is made for knifemakers creating custom blades. Choose from the available billets and order the length you need. Confirm the core alloy for your selected billet before heat treatment.
