Premium Damascus with Proprietary Steel
The Xinzuo X08 Ji Series features a proprietary 12Cr18MoV steel core clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness at 59–61 HRC. Each blade is vacuum heat-treated and paired with a rich ebony wood handle that provides both elegance and a confident grip. With 16 knife types available — from a 4-inch paring knife to a 10-inch carving knife, plus a bone chopper, cleaver, and Viking knife — the Ji Series covers virtually every kitchen task. Positioned in the premium tier, the Ji Series bridges the gap between Xinzuo’s mid-range offerings and the ultra-premium lines, making it an outstanding choice for Australian home cooks and enthusiasts who want a distinctive, high-performing blade without stepping into flagship pricing. A copper Damascus variant (X08C) is also available with padauk burl wood handles for those who favour a warmer aesthetic.
