8 Inch Japanese Steel Damascus Chef Knife

SHAN ZU, a renowned ancient Chinese chef, mastered the art of shan shi and created numerous famous recipes. This exceptional female chef is the inspiration behind SHAN ZU Kitchen Products, which strives to provide premium knives of exceptional sharpness, impeccable details, and superior quality to help people excel in their culinary careers. Our goal is not just to provide a knife, but to greatly enhance cooking prep efficiency.

The process of creating a real Damascus knife involves using high-quality steel to ensure the highest level of quality from the material. By combining 67 layers of steel, a true Damascus knife is forged. These layers are fused together at high temperatures to form a billet, which is then integrated through forging to make it stronger. The pattern is formed through repeated heating and hammering.

The SHAN ZU Damascus Knife Series features a chef's knife core made of Damascus Japanese steel AUS-10, known for its high hardness (62HRC), anti-corrosion, and wear-resistant features. The real Damascus knife has a beautiful pattern achieved through layering sheets of carbon steel and applying excessive heat treatments with repeated folding and forging until the blade pattern is formed. This creates a long-lasting use utility knife with 67 layers of steel that greatly enhances characteristics of corrosion resistance, rust prevention, and toughness.

The knife features a glass fiber G10 handle for a comfortable grip and solid feel, making it ergonomically designed for high-performance cutting of meat, vegetables, and fish. The 8” long, 2.2mm thick blade has a cutting angle of 15 degrees and weighs 270g. Additionally, SHAN ZU provides a 12-month warranty on all knife products for customer satisfaction.

In conclusion, SHAN ZU Kitchen Products proudly takes its name from an ancient Chinese chef and is committed to creating greatness with premium knives that offer exceptional sharpness and superior quality. The real Damascus knife, made with 67 layers of steel, embodies excellence in craftsmanship and durability, providing an optimal experience for culinary professionals.
