Full Tang:

A full tang knife is a blade that extends the entire handle length, creating a solid, continuous piece of metal from the blade's tip to the end. This design ensures optimal strength and stability, making full-tang knives highly reliable in demanding tasks. Full Tangs are found on kitchen knives that need extra strength, durability, and weight and balance.

Blade Core Aus-10 Steel<

The blade core is crafted from authentic Japanese AUS-10 steel. Until recently, AUS 10 was not widely recognized in the industry. This particular steel is manufactured by Aichi Steel, based in the Japanese city of Tokai. AUS-10 stands out as the strongest variant in the AUS series due to its high carbon content. Although it remains relatively obscure, AUS-10 is certainly appreciated. The new Xinzuo series features stunning knives that are a joy to use. Why is that? With a hardness rating of 60±1 HRC, these knives are durable yet not brittle, making them easier to sharpen while maintaining their edge retention effectively.

Cutting-edge Technology Revolutionizing Knife Sharpness and Durability

Vacuum quenching technology is transforming the culinary landscape. This technique combines advanced scientific principles with age-old knife-making practices to attain remarkable sharpness and resilience. We explore the mysteries of state-of-the-art knives, where artisanal skill merges with modern technology.

What is Vacuum Quenching?

Vacuum quenching is a sophisticated heat treatment technique that involves heating knife steel in a vacuum environment and then cooling it quickly. This high-end and costly technology greatly enhances the performance and longevity of knives.

What is the heating and cooling process?

The knife steel is subjected to high heat within a vacuum furnace. The temperature is controlled to shape the metal's structure. It is then rapidly cooled using gas, water, or oil to finalize the structure, followed by tempering to find the right balance between hardness and toughness. This method improves surface quality, increases durability, and reduces distortion, enabling the attainment of sharpness that meets the expectations of even professional Chefs. Xinzuo & Hezhen use high end, expensive Vacuum Deep-cooling Heat Treatment to make sure they bring out all the qualities the steel can provide, keeping them ahead of their competitors in their final Damascus steel knife blades.

North American Black Walnut & Synthetic OX Bone Wooden Handle

Xinzuo sources their knife handle material from around the world to find the highest quality Wood for knife handles. North America is internationally known for its High quality Black walnut.

TIP: periodically wipe down the knife blade and handle with a little food-grade mineral oil. Mineral oil helps protect the knife blade from corrosion and helps the knife handle to maintain its beautiful luster while protecting against moisture.

FAQ

What are Premium Damascus Steel Chef Knives?

Premium Damascus Steel Chef Knives are high-quality kitchen knives with steel blades. This type of steel is known for its distinctive patterns and exceptional performance. The manufacturing process involves layering different types of steel, which are then forged together, resulting in a blade that boasts increased hardness, durability, and sharpness. The unique properties of Damascus steel make it an ideal choice for chef's knives, allowing for precise slicing, dicing, and mincing.

What is the difference between Damascus Steel and regular stainless steel?

The primary difference lies in the composition and manufacturing process. While regular stainless steel is typically made from a single type of metal, Damascus steel is created by fusing multiple layers of different steel types. This results in a blade that has a visually appealing pattern and offers enhanced edge retention, sharpness, and hardness. Damascus steel knives are known for holding a sharp edge longer than regular steel knives, making them a preferred choice for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike.
