A thrill that continues right down to the handle with its noble Micarta sheathing. With an outstanding Rockwell Hardness of 63° and Honbazuke honed edge by master craftsmen in Seki, Japan, it's a pleasure for true professionals to work with such premium knives. Zwilling Tanrei knives takes you to a new dimension in terms of hardness and cutting edge retention. The newly developed premium steel and FC63 core achieves a degree of hardness rarely seen in kitchen knives, but without compromising on flexibility. Handcrafted exclusively in Seki, Japan with a lifetime warranty.

I was going to purchase a knife through your company . But after reading your Reviews, I'm having second thoughts.

what is the FC63 Steel? AEB-L?

[@cutleryandmore]

Sorry for the delayed response! FC63 is described to us as similar to AEB-L, but it is a powder steel so it is infact superior since it has a finder carbide structure. This allows it to be tempered to a higher rockwell of about 63 and, like AEB-L, can hold the edge without chipping easily. We have found these to be the best knives currently being made by Zwilling and they are exclusive to Cutlery and More!

​@@cutleryandmoreI think FC61 is essentially aeb-l and FC63 Is SG2.
