Originating from India, Wootz steel was smelted by Syrian craftsmen. This precious sword steel was brought to the European world through the Crusades in the Middle Ages and became a symbol of strong knives. Miyako uses AUS8 with a hardness of HRC58.5 as the core material, and cross-laminates 8 layers of SUS410 and SUS430 reinforced stainless steel on both sides, making a total of 33 layers, each with its own unique knife pattern.
