X08 Ji Series

X08 Ji Series

The XINZUO X08 Ji Series represents refined strength and modern precision. Crafted with a 67-layer Damascus blade and paired with a deep-toned ebony wood handle, this collection delivers clean performance with a bold, minimalist presence.

Designed for cooks who value balance, control, and understated elegance, the Ji Series blends traditional steel craftsmanship with contemporary design.

67-Layer Damascus with 12Cr18MoV Core

At the center of each blade lies a 12Cr18MoV stainless steel core, engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent edge performance. The blade is vacuum heat-treated to achieve a hardness of 59–61 HRC, offering an excellent balance between sharpness and long-term resilience.

The 67-layer Damascus construction strengthens the blade while creating a refined flowing pattern that enhances both durability and visual depth.

Premium Ebony Wood Handle

The handle is crafted from natural ebony wood, known for its density, stability, and deep, rich color. Its dark finish contrasts beautifully with the Damascus blade, giving the Ji Series a clean, professional aesthetic.

The full-tang construction ensures strength and balance, while the ergonomic shaping provides a secure grip and precise control during extended prep work.
