Professional 8 Inch Japanese Steel Damascus Kitchen Knife

SHAN ZU is an ancient Chinese famous chef who mastered shan shi, wholesome recipes, and created a large number of famous recipes. SHAN ZU Kitchen Products proudly takes its name from this outstanding female chef and sticks to the goal to CREATE GREATNESS -- providing premium knives of exceptional sharpness, impeccable details, and superior quality to help people build their careers.

The process of making a real Damascus knife involves using high-quality steel to ensure higher quality from the material. By combining 67 layers of steel, a true Damascus knife is created. The sheets are fused together at high temperatures to form a billet, and through forging, the layers are integrated to make them stronger. This process continues until the pattern is formed.

SHAN ZU's chef's knife core is made of Damascus Japanese steel AUS-10 that has high hardness (62HRC), anti-corrosion, and wear-resistant features. Combined with advanced modern forging technique, users will get a super sharp kitchen knife. The Damascus knife is famous for its beautiful pattern, and SHAN ZU's Damascus pattern technique involves layering sheets of carbon steel, and applying excessive heat treatments with repeated folding and forging until the blade pattern is formed. The pattern gets more visible after polishing. In contrast, modern-day fake Damascus knives have merely been laser-etched (surface treated) to produce a pattern, which can be worn away.

Besides the knife core, there are still 66 layers of carbon steel that are forged on the blade. A total of 67 layers of steel structure greatly enhances the characteristics of corrosion resistance, rust prevention, and toughness, resulting in a long-lasting use utility knife. The knife also adopts a frosted glass fiber G10 handle, which is much more comfortable and sturdier than a wood handle. It becomes an ergonomically designed top-balanced professional knife to provide high-performance cutting for meat, vegetable, and fish.

The chef knife blade is 8" long and 2.2mm thick, with a 5.3" long handle and a 15-degree cutting angle. The knife weighs 270g. SHAN ZU provides a 12-month warranty on all knife products, and customers can feel free to contact the company if they encounter any problems.
