SHAN ZU 8-Inch Damascus Chef Knife, Professional Kitchen Utility Knife

SHAN ZU, an ancient Chinese famous chef, mastered shan shi, wholesome recipes, and created a large number of famous recipes. SHAN ZU Kitchen Products proudly takes its name from this outstanding female chef and sticks to the goal to CREATE GREATNESS -- providing premium knives of exceptional sharpness, impeccable details, and superior quality to help people build their careers.

The process of making a real Damascus knife involves using high-quality steel, folding steel, melting, forging, and hammering. By combining 67 layers of steel, a true Damascus knife is created. The layers are fused together at high temperatures to form a billet, and through forging, the layers are integrated to make them stronger. This process continues until the pattern is formed.

SHAN ZU chef's knife core is made of Damascus Japanese steel AUS-10 that has high hardness (62HRC), anti-corrosion, and wear-resistant features. The Damascus pattern technique involves layering sheets of carbon steel and applying excessive heat treatments with repeated folding and forging until the blade pattern is formed. The pattern gets more visible after polishing. In contrast, modern-day fake Damascus knives have merely been laser-etched (surface treated) to produce a pattern, which can be worn away.

The 67-layer steel structure greatly enhances the characteristics of corrosion resistance, rust prevention, and toughness, resulting in a long-lasting use utility knife. The knife features a frosted glass fiber G10 handle, which is more comfortable and solid than a wood handle. This ergonomically designed, top-balanced professional knife provides high-performance cutting for meat, vegetables, and fish.

SHAN ZU provides a 12-month warranty on all knife products, and customers are encouraged to contact the company if they encounter any problems. The chef knife blade is 8" long and 2.2mm thick, with a 5.3" long handle and a 15-degree cutting angle. The knife weighs 270g.

In summary, SHAN ZU Kitchen Products offer premium knives with exceptional sharpness, impeccable details, and superior quality, drawing inspiration from the renowned ancient Chinese chef, SHAN ZU. The real Damascus knife-making process and the use of high-quality materials ensure a long-lasting, high-performance cutting experience for users.
