Double Edged – ZDP-189
ZDP-189 is a powdered stainless steel with an exceptionally high carbon and chromium content. It can be hardened far beyond ordinary stainless steels and is among the hardest steels used in kitchen knives, giving outstanding edge retention.
These double-edged Yoshihiro Hayate ZDP-189 knives include gyuto, kiritsuke, petty and paring knives with octagonal ebony handles, silver rings and nuri saya covers. Because the steel is so hard, it should be sharpened on quality whetstones and used on wooden or soft synthetic boards. See also our ZDP189 Series.
