Crafted by Yao, a senior craftsman of the XinGuo team, this piece represents one of his recent experimental works, where traditional craftsmanship meets high-performance modern steel.
At its core lies Apex Ultra, an American-made steel valued for its fine grain, strong edge retention, and reliable stability, delivering a precise and confident cutting feel.
Through careful grinding and acid etching, the blade develops a captivating blue-grey tone, highlighted by natural metallic crystalline patterns. The result is subtle yet deeply expressive, an aesthetic best appreciated up close.
The edge is finished in a durable, razor-sharp convex geometry for excellent real-world performance. True to XinGuo’s standards, every detail is finely polished to enhance both refinement and comfort in hand.
Please note that due to the higher impurity content inherent in wrought iron, variations in appearance, coloration, small pits, or surface marks may be present. These features are part of the material’s authentic character. We kindly ask that you consider and appreciate these unique qualities before making your purchase decision.
