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.
