Its ZDP-189 core is hardened to about 65-67 HRC and clad in softer stainless, so it holds an extremely fine edge for a long time and rarely needs the stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its very high carbon and chromium content, ZDP-189 combines extreme hardness with good corrosion resistance, allowing the edge to last far longer than most conventional kitchen knife steels. This level of performance greatly reduces the need for frequent sharpening, though the same hardness means ZDP-189 requires more skill and proper equipment if sharpening or edge repair is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its cost and demanding production process, ZDP-189 is typically reserved for top-tier knives and is most often used as a hardened core in laminated (San Mai) constructions. Cladding the core with softer stainless steel adds toughness and ease of maintenance while preserving the outstanding cutting performance and edge retention that define ZDP-189.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","offers":[{"title":"10.2\" (260mm)","offer_id":67885139525862,"sku":"ZDGY260OBMO","price":759.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4778\/5915\/files\/ZDPGY260OBMO_PT01.jpg?v=1793225576","url":"https:\/\/www.echefknife.com\/products\/yoshihiro-hayate-zdp-189-super-high-carbon-stainless-steel-gyuto-chefs-knife-ocean-blue-handle-with-triple-ring-handle-blade-length-10-2-260mm","provider":"Yoshihiro Cutlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
