xMeet the SHAN ZU 4-Inch Paring Knife
Designed for precise prep and everyday kitchen tasks, this compact paring knife pairs a 4 inch blade with a robust Damascus build. The blade is crafted from 10Cr15Mov Japanese steel, offering a hard edge, rust resistance, and reliable wear resistance that stays sharp through repeated use.
Why this knife stands out
Unlike laser etched looks, this knife features a true Damascus pattern achieved through multiple forging folds. The visible layers and depth come from 67 layers of steel, which contribute to toughness and an attractive, unique grain you can see after polishing.
- Real Damascus layering rather than a surface pattern
- 67 layers for balanced strength and edge stability
- Hardness around 62 HRC for consistent sharpness
