Sharktooth, a pattern of symmetrical damas... biting!

The Sharktooth pattern is characterized by a series of repeated, pointed, teeth-like formations that recall the serrated edge of a shark tooth. Each wave melts into the next one according to a rhythmic and symmetrical pattern, creating an impression of movement and depth on the surface of your knife blade. Complex stratification translates into thin lines that alternate between light and dark, enhancing visual complexity and giving the pattern a dynamic, almost three-dimensional appearance.

Aesthetic.. But a formidable composition of technique.

For the stainless version of the Damascus Sharktooth, Vegas Forge made the choice of two shades of stainless steel: AEB-L (at 90% of the plot) and 302 steel (up to 10% of the plot). The experienced cutlery know the AEB-L steel, a stainless grade appreciated in cutlery for its corrosion resistance, its high hardness but also the quality and holding of its edge. Steel 302 is a steel that reaches low hardness after hardness, due to its low carbon content (between 0.05 and 0.15%). Built into a Damascus kit, it guarantees ductility, durability, and knife blade resistance. Its very high rate of Nickel (between 6 and 9.5%) also allows extremely marked contrasts after acid revelation.
