The knife that lives between your paring blade and your chef's knife. The Zhen Series 5.5" utility runs a 67-layer Damascus blade over a 10Cr15CoMoV core, hardened to 60±2 HRC and ground to 15° per side. Long enough to slice a sandwich, break down a chicken breast or trim a roast, short enough to stay nimble in the hand. Olive wood and black buffalo horn octagonal handle, hidden partial tang. Made in Yangjiang.

FAQs
Yes. The blade is genuine 67-layer Damascus steel forged around a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core, with a compressed Damascus pattern. It is a forged multi-layer blade, not an etched print.
At 5.5" it sits between the two. Longer and more capable than a paring knife for jobs at the bench, shorter and more nimble than a chef's knife for trimming, slicing and small produce.
It is hardened to 60±2 HRC via vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle, keen enough to hold an edge through extended prep, while still straightforward to re-hone at home.
15° per side, a double bevel ground to 15°±1. That is a fine, acute edge for clean slicing on soft and medium produce and meat.
A traditional octagonal handle in olive wood with a black buffalo horn bolster, fitted to a hidden tang (a partial tang).
No. Hand wash and dry it immediately. The dishwasher will damage the edge, the Damascus finish and the natural wood handle. It is covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
In Yangjiang, China, the country's knife-making capital, using a multi-step manufacturing and quality control process.
