SHAN ZU 8 Inch Japanese Steel Chef Knife

SHAN ZU is named after an ancient Chinese renowned female chef known for mastering shan shi, wholesome recipes, and creating numerous famous dishes. The brand aims to honor her legacy by providing high-quality knives to help chefs and culinary enthusiasts excel in their careers. The SHAN ZU Kitchen Products proudly takes its name from this outstanding female chef and sticks to the goal to CREATE GREATNESS -- providing premium knives of exceptional sharpness, impeccable details, and superior quality. It’s not just “Here’s the knife, use it to cut”. The brand is committed to enhancing cooking prep efficiency and performance.

The process of creating a real Damascus knife involves using high-quality steel to ensure superior quality from the material. By combining 67 layers of steel, the brand creates a true Damascus knife. The sheets are fused together at high temperatures to form a billet, and through forging, the layers are integrated to make them stronger. The repeat process of heating and hammering continues until the pattern is formed.

The SHAN ZU chef's knife core is made of Damascus Japanese steel AUS-10 that has high hardness, anti-corrosion, and wear-resistant features. This, combined with advanced modern forging techniques, results in a super sharp kitchen knife. The brand's Damascus pattern technique involves layering sheets of carbon steel and applying excessive heat treatments with repeated folding and forging until the blade pattern is formed. The pattern becomes more visible after polishing, distinguishing it from fake Damascus knives that have merely been laser-etched.

Forged by 67-layer sheets of steel, SHAN ZU knives are designed to be long-lasting, with enhanced characteristics of corrosion resistance, rust prevention, and toughness. The knives also feature a glass fiber G10 handle designed for comfortable grip and durability. Additionally, the brand offers a 12-month warranty on all knife products, ensuring customers can purchase with confidence. Please feel free to contact SHAN ZU if you encounter any issues.
