Damaskas tērauda Šefa nazis Samura 24 cm SD67-0087M

Nazis ir paredzēts profesionāļiem un amatieru pavāriem, tā galvenais mērķis ir dārzeņu, zivju un gaļas griešana un smalkināšana.

Precīzi izstrādāts instruments, kas lieliski apvieno funkcionalitāti un izcilu ergonomiku.

Šis nazis atšķiras no Eiropas naziem pēc asmens formas un tērauda. Īpaši asi asmeņi griež precīzi, vienmērīgi un gludi.

Kas ir īpašs Damaskas tēraudam?

Damaskas tērauds, ko izmantojam šodien, un vēsturiskais Damaskas tērauds atšķiras. Agrāk Damaskas tēraudu ražoja no tērauda veida, ko sauca par wootz. Ap 1700. gadu, kad izplatījās šaujamieroču ražošana, Damaskas tērauda ražošanas tehnika tika zaudēta, jo tehnoloģija nebija pierakstīta, bet nodota mutiski.

Šis zaudējums neapstādināja nazi ražotājus un zinātniekus ar īpašiem eksperimentiem atjaunot oriģinālo Damaskas tēraudu. Tomēr šodien lietotais termins „Damaskas tērauds“ var nozīmēt cita veida tēraudu: daudzslāņu metinātu tēraudu.

Traditional Damascus Steel

Little is known about how traditional Damascus steel originated or its manufacturing methods. However, we know that it was initially made from Indian wootz steel by heating the raw material in a crucible and following certain procedures. Reproductions of this steel exist, but they are not as popular as modern welded Damascus steel.

Modern Damascus Steel

In modern knife making, Damascus steel refers to multi-layered welded steel. Modern Damascus steel is produced by mixing two or more different types of steel through a process called pattern welding. Take two different steel blanks, stack them together or weld them, place them in a forge, and when they reach the required temperature, continuously fold them so that everything blends. The final result will be Damascus steel, but it will not be the same as the historical original. Nevertheless, modern Damascus steel is equally strong, hard, yet flexible enough to maintain resilience.

However, this is only half the job. Mixing two or more types of steel and combining them into a single steel blank does not give us the patterns we expect—they are not that obvious. The process of tempering and etching with acid reveals the patterns that emerge after heat treatment and some grinding.

Etching involves immersing the tempered knife in an acid, such as ferric chloride. The steel's reaction to acids reveals patterns, as different steels react differently, creating a unique design. Although this does not give us authentic, original Damascus steel, the result is just as beautiful.

There is no single pattern in Damascus steel knives. Everything, from the types of steel used to folding, welding, etching, and the use of other chemicals, changes the final result accordingly.

How are Damascus steel patterns formed?

Since mixing different types of steel is not like mixing liquids, they do not fully blend. Certain methods, such as pressing, folding, and twisting, help combine them and form patterns, creating a unique design. Finally, acid etching makes these patterns clearer and gives a distinctive finish.

Damascus patterns are formed by combining different types of steel to create a solid blank. Typically, two opposite types of steel are combined, such as carbon steel and stainless steel. These two types of steel have different appearances, with carbon steel being darker in color and stainless steel being shiny. Carbon steel is strong but brittle. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant but relatively soft, so the knife needs sharpening more often. When these two different steels are fused, you get a combination of their best properties. Therefore, Damascus steel knives are known for being strong, maintaining sharpness for a long time while being flexible enough and corrosion-resistant.

This is the main reason whyDamascus steel knivesare popular among both professional chefs and amateur cooks.
