Riptide San Mai pairs the flowing movement of Riptide Damascus jackets with a solid steel core. Its sweeping pattern gives the blade a sense of motion, while a ground bevel reveals the transition between the patterned jackets and the core.

Forged in Las Vegas by Vegas Forge, Riptide San Mai brings distinctive character to custom knife projects. Bevel geometry, grinding depth, and etching shape the final appearance, revealing different details within the layered pattern.
