The everyday workhorse of the Zhen Series. A 67-layer Damascus chef knife built around a 10Cr15CoMoV cutting core, hardened to 60±2 HRC and ground to 15° per side. The octagonal handle pairs olive wood with black buffalo horn, set on a hidden tang (a partial tang). This is the knife that does most of the work in a kitchen, rocking, slicing, dicing, prep from start to finish.

FAQs
It is real. The blade is 67 layers of Damascus steel forge-clad around a 10Cr15CoMoV core. The grain on the flank is the layered steel itself, not an etched or printed design.
The core is hardened to 60±2 HRC using vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle. That hardness lets the edge run thin at 15° per side and hold through everyday prep.
The blade is 8.5 inches (about 215 mm), a true chef-knife length suited to slicing, dicing and rocking through most kitchen tasks.
It is made in Yangjiang, China, long known as the country's centre of knife-making. The materials and process are fully specified: genuine Damascus, a named core steel, a stated hardness, and a controlled heat treatment.
