The XinCraft VG10 steel mirror-polished damascus 12cmUniversal knife is a stylish Japanese-inspired knife that lets you slice food efficiently!
Xin is a manufacturer of aesthetic and functional Japanese-style knives. Xin knives feature all the main characteristics of Japanese knives, with carefully selected materials to ensure durability and efficiency for every use.
Xin knives are made by blacksmiths with over a decade's experience, in the Guangdong province's Dongcheng district, where blade-making is deeply rooted and many knife factories are located.
This knife is part of the Xincraft range of handcrafted knives. Their design is both simple and powerful, and they are made from top-of-the-range materials such as VG10 steel for long-lasting, effective knives.
The Universal knife lets you cut a multitude of foods, and is appreciated for its great versatility. You can use it to cut cheese, dice or stick vegetables, peel fruit, slice garlic cloves...
Its 12cm blade is made of VG10 steel, recognized as the toughest on the market. It was created in Japan by the Takefu factory. It is extremely resistant to corrosion and wear, while being rich in carbon (1% versus 0.5% on average for other steels). As a result, it is also very strong and long-lasting.
VG10 steel provides a hardness of 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale, a good compromise between edge endurance and ease of sharpening. You can sharpen your knife with a Sharpening stone if it loses some of its effectiveness.
The blade is damascened with 67 superimposed layers of steel, consolidating it and creating a superb pattern reminiscent of raindrops. A mirror polish enhances the damascus effect. The blade of this Xin Universal knife is both originally aesthetic and promises effortless cutting!
Cut on a suitable surface, such as a wooden or plastic board. Don't cut hard foods such as bones, as this could break the blade.
The handle is made from three materials: sandalwood, a bolster and a buffalo horn butt, joined by nickel silver (copper, zinc and nickel). This original, elegant handle has a traditional Japanese octagonal shape. It is suitable for right- and left-handed use.
Buffalo horn and wood are organic materials, so colors may vary depending on the part removed. The handle of your knife may therefore be lighter, darker or brighter in color than the one shown in the photo.
The piece as a whole is well-balanced to give you even greater comfort when cutting, and you'll never tire of its sublime design.
Care and maintenance :
Wash the knife by hand (dishwashers are forbidden, as is soaking it in the sink) and wipe it with a dry cloth immediately afterwards. You can then store it safely on your magnet bar or in your Bag, for example.
