225mm Zwear (CPM-CruWear) Gyuto Chef Knife

A 225mm Zwear (CPM-CruWear) Gyuto Chef Knife

One of my favourite PM steels, Zwear is extremely tough and wear resistant, holding its own against MagnaCut in every respect except corrosion resistance, but it practice it’s quite rust resistant and barely patinas at all, it also comes with the added benefit of being very stone friendly for a vanadium bearing PM steel. I’ve gotten edges on Zwear with my Belgian Blue whetstone that easily rival those of any basic carbon steel.
