Details
ZHEN AUS 10 Knife Kits are constructed from three layers of AUS 10 steel (HRC59-61) forged together to form a refined grain structure that is more wear resistant, much tougher, and has the ability sharpen and maintain a keen edge. AUS-10 Japanese stainless steel has roughly the same carbon content as 440C but with slightly less chromium, so it should be a bit less rust resistant but tougher than traditional 440C. It also competes well with the higher-end steels, like ATS-34 and above. Designed for the chef at heart, these knives would make a great gift for the cook in your family.
Features:
- Customize your knife blade by choosing from a myriad of woods to make your handle
- Forged from 3 layers of AUS 10 steel
- Rockwell hardness of 59 -61
- Maintains a keen edge
- Overall Length: 11-1/2"
- Blade Length: 6-1/4"
- Blade Material: AUS-10 Japanese stainless steel
- (1) Knife blade blank
- (4) Rivets
- Knife scale / handle material sold separately.
- Hand wash your blades with gentle dish soap, rinse clean and towel dry immediately.
- Hone your blades with a steel or ceramic rod weekly to keep them sharp. We recommend sharpening your blades with a whetstone at an angle of 15°-20°.
- CAUTION: DO NOT chop bone or use this knife on a hard surface like a glass cutting board, tile, or granite.

Great!
Super cool kit! I'd prefer if they used straight pins because the flanged press pins are a pain to line up properly without the specialized drill bit. I sharpened it (it wasn't crazy sharp out of the box) and it may be my new favorite knife. $50 including scales for a nice Japanese knife is a steel(get it?)!

Good value but logo is unwanted!
I like the size and balance of this knife blank, and for me a nakiri blade is very functional. As with all Zhen products, I resent them putting their logo on my custom knife blade! As a result, I rarely buy their Damascus blades, since The Damascus pattern is ruined when I remove their logo. This is a company that doesn’t care , or doesn’t understand, their customer base! Maybe Woodcraft doesn’t either?

Nice Project
I received this as a gift for Christmas. Bought some Padauk scales and the #153927 Whiteside Pilot Drill & Counterbore to go along. Followed the instructions carefully and used the included cutler rivets. It all came together nicely with 30-minute epoxy. Go slow and double check everything before you commit. The knife turned out nicely.

Fantastic knifes, even the 3 layer steel
Did one of these for a gift with a Cocobolo Rosewood handle, very impressed with the quality of the blades. This is a great shaped knife, allowing transfer of chopped or diced food to the pan with the knife itself with it's broad, flat blade. A GREAT vegetable knife for general kitchen use. The rivets are a bit daunting to get right, but the result is a fantastic knife and a super special gift. Highly recommended. If you have never use a professional type knife, you owe it to yourself to try one. I have a small dual sided DMT diamond stone in my kitchen drawer, and a few strokes with that renews the blade to razor sharpness....have done the Damascus blades for myself, and love them! Have my eye on the cleaver next! Item # 153651
