Basketweave San Mai combines the interwoven geometry of Basketweave Damascus jackets with a solid steel core. Its repeating pattern brings structure and contrast to the blade, while grinding a bevel reveals the transition between the patterned outer layers and the core.

Forged in Las Vegas by Vegas Forge, this material gives knifemakers a distinctive starting point for custom blades. The finished appearance varies with bevel geometry, grinding depth, and etching, making each blade its own expression of the pattern.
