Regular honing with a ceramic or leather strop will keep the 15° edge performing at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What type of steel is the XINZUO Zhen Series utility knife made from?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The blade is forged from 49-layer Hitachi ZDP-189 Damascus powder steel, achieving an exceptional hardness of 65–67 HRC.
