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: 7-11/16"
- Blade Length: 3-5/16"
- Blade Material: AUS-10 Japanese stainless steel

- 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°.

Good buy
I fitted the knife with a fun resin handle with mosaic pins for my neighbor. She loves it and always comments on how sharp it is. Makes a great gift that people will use.

Nice Blade
Nice knife as far as a cheaper Japanese production knife goes. Not really sharp outof box, but shapened up nicely on water stones and strop. Rivets are junk, I had to drill 2 back out because they broke. Better off using rods as pins. Maintains edge fairly well and doesnt require the maintenance of high carbon steel japanese blades.
