Steel information in detail

San Mai in the context of metal blade construction, refers to a knife, blade or sword that has the hard steel hagane forming the blade’s edge, and the iron/stainless forming a jacket on both sides.

“San mai” roughly translates as three flat things, in Japanese (San=three Mai=unit counter for flat objects). The term, and its root honsanmai, has been used to describe that construction method for many hundreds of years, from around 1300 A.D. It refers to when three layers of steel are used. The centre is hard, and the side is typically softer.
