FAQs
No. The 67 layers are forge-welded structural cladding around a 12Cr18MoV core. The core takes and holds the edge; the layers support it and produce the pattern. It is real layered steel, not an etched print.
In Yangjiang, China, the country's traditional knife-making city. Xinzuo forges its blades there and backs them with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
The 12Cr18MoV core is hardened to 58-62 HRC using vacuum heat treatment, which holds a fine 15-degree-per-side edge through daily prep.
It is the everyday workhorse, chopping vegetables, slicing proteins, mincing herbs and general board work. At 200mm it is long and tall enough for most kitchen tasks.
Solid ebony wood on a full tang. Ebony is dense and close-grained, so the handle stays solid and balances the weight toward your hand.
No. Hand wash and dry it. Dishwashers damage both the edge and the wood handle.
Match the factory grind of 15 degrees per side to keep the edge true.
