Zhen Premium Knives was founded in 1990, originally manufacturing Japanese-style knives using authentic Japanese steel. Over the decades, Zhen has grown into a global brand while maintaining their commitment to craftsmanship and quality materials.
The word “Zhen” means "to achieve utmost perfection" in Chinese. True to their name, Zhen knives are designed to meet the rigorous standards of Japanese chefs and culinary professionals worldwide.
Zhen employs Japanese industrial engineers at their Taiwan-based facility, incorporating traditional Japanese forging methods and techniques into their modern manufacturing process.
Thanks to their longstanding ties to Japanese knife brands, Zhen is one of the rare overseas manufacturers officially approved to source authentic VG-10 Damascus steel from TAKEFU SPECIAL STEEL CO., LTD. (武生特殊鋼材株式會社).
Today, Zhen is especially acclaimed for their 3-layer hand-forged cleavers and other high-performance cutlery. Their knives come backed by a lifetime warranty, reflecting their dedication to quality and durability.
