This Paring/Fruit knife brings a beautiful, hammered Raindrop Damascus design to the kitchen without compromising its performance. Each XINZOU blade features a total of 67 steel layers for better durability.
The core of the blade is a 10Cr15CoMoV Steel. This is a high carbon steel which allows for a very sharp edge with the proper heat treating. This means the blade is hardened to a 58-62 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Any higher and the blade becomes too brittle, any lower and the edge can roll over too easily.
The 10Cr15CoMoV Steel core is the primary cutting edge Paring Knife of the blade and counts as one layer of steel. This allows for consistency along the entire length of the edge while creating a strong base for the additional steel layers to be added to.
