I’ve been using the Japanese ZDP-189 samples I picked up six months ago to test this new line, and theyre still in my regular kitchen rotation. ZDP-189 is one of the hardest and finest steels out thereused in Japan only for their top-tier knivesand these are the best I’ve used. The edge holds noticeably longer than any of my other high-end knives. They’re more expensive, but I’m finding them worth it.

Authentic Japanese ZDP-189 Steel

Xinzuo partnered with Sanyo Riki Company to customize a three-layer ZDP-189 powder steel core composite steel. ZDP 189 powder steel, developed by Hitachi subsidiary Japan Nippon Shoryu Metals, has a carbon content of 3% and a chromium content of 20%. After vacuum deep-cooling heat treatments, it can reach 65-67 HRC. Knife smiths widely use it for high-end handmade custom knives.

The ZDP-189 steel core is sandwiched between two layers of SUS405 Stainless Steel, which provides anti-corrosion. The hand-brushed stainless steel blade surface provides a protective layer that highlights the delicate metal texture of the steel, giving it a classic aesthetic look and feel.

RAZOR SHARP and Incredibly Strong

The blade is incredibly strong and stable. Its razor-sharp edge can withstand months of frequent daily use with occasional honing rod use. With outstanding sharpness, you can easily slice your meat and vegetables as thinly as you like.

Classic Japanese Octagonal Desert Ironwood and White Bull Horn Handles
