10Cr15CoMoV Chinese VG10 Steel Core HRC 60-61

Starting with 60-61HRC, adding rare metals provides excellent anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and toughness properties. The high-quality blade is paired with a classic Japanese-designed octagonal handle known for its ergonomic design. The blade is incredibly strong and stable, and its razor-sharp edge can be maintained for months of frequent daily use. With this outstanding sharpness, you can easily slice through meat and vegetables as thin as you like, and it has an ergonomic design for comfort and long use.

The 10Cr15CoMoV Chinese counterpart to the Japanese VG10 

10Cr15CoMoV comprises an almost Identical high-carbon stainless steel variant widely utilized in knife manufacturing. This Chinese-made steel is highly regarded for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. Furthermore, it exhibits exceptional toughness, further contributing to its impressive performance and longevity.

Top-Quality Vacuum Deep-cooling Heat Treatment and Annealing

XINZUO knives insist on using top-quality vacuum deep-cooling heat treatment and annealing to achieve the standards set by Takfu of Japan, like an HRC of 60-61. The high cost of the equipment and the quality engineers required for the process set Xinzuo apart from its competitors, who mostly use ordinary nitriding furnaces and lower-skilled workers. Using cheaper heat treatment is why so many Chinese manufacturers only realize 70% to 80% of the VG-10 steel properties and qualities.

Note: Most knife manufacturers that advertise Damascus or Japanese vg10 steel knives are selling their Chinese counterpart, the 10Cr15CoMoV. The chinese 10Cr15CoMoV can achieve the same qualities as japanese vg10 steel but only if the chinese knife manufacturer uses top-quality vacuum deep-cooling heat treatment and annealing. 

Final Thoughts on 10Cr15CoMoV Chinese VG10 Steel Blades

With a thorough understanding of what goes into high-quality steel, there's no question why Xinzuo makes its knives using 10Cr15CoMoV Chinese V10 Steel. Not only is it made using a particular combination of chemical compounds that ensures the perfect amount of hardness, toughness, edge retention, and more, but it’s also produced using precise, expert manufacturing methods like high-end precision vacuum heat treatment.

66-layer Forged Compressed Damascus Pattern

The 66 layers of 316/316L Damascus Stainless Steel are layered on top of the core. This helps keep the core corrosion-free while adding aesthetic accents with a striking Compressed Damascus Pattern. The knife features a double bevel design with 15° angles on either side. This Golden Angle ensures that the edge will be as sharp and durable as possible, reducing how regularly you sharpen the blade.

Classic Japanese Octagonal Handle Design

The handle is a traditional Japanese Octagon shape. While it might not look or sound comfortable, this handle style is excellent for working with a knife for a long time. It provides a firm grip and multiple hand positions while using the knife. The Buffalo Horn and Olive Wood used in the handle are beautiful and durable Materials that accent the blade’s Damascus pattern. After many hand polishing s, the handle has a delicate texture and a comfortable ergonomic grip. You will find it hard not to want to use this knife for every task in your kitchen because it can handle them all while looking good.
