Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of steel is used in the XINZUO PM8 Zhen Damascus paring knife blade?

A: The blade features a 67-layer Damascus steel construction with a VG10 super steel core. VG10 is a premium Japanese stainless steel alloy known for outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance. The Damascus cladding adds both visual beauty and structural durability.

The unique olive wood and buffalo horn handle means each knife is truly one of a kind.

Q: How do I care for a Damascus steel paring knife?

A: To maintain your Damascus steel knife in top condition, always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately — avoid dishwashers, which can dull the edge and damage the handle. Store it on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife block. Periodically hone the blade and sharpen with a whetstone rated for fine-grit finishing to keep the 15° edge performing at its best.

Q: What is the blade hardness of the XINZUO PM8 Zhen paring knife?

A: The VG10 core is heat-treated to achieve a hardness of 60±2 HRC (Rockwell Hardness). This level of hardness strikes an excellent balance between a razor-sharp edge and the toughness needed to resist chipping during everyday kitchen tasks.
