The steel can achieve superbly high hardness, enabling some artisans to harden the knife to up to 67HRC. ZDP-189 knives are pricier compared with knives of same style and finish but with a lesser steel. These knives could retain sharpness much longer, but require more experience when it comes to sharpening. Burrfection Store does not recommend sharpening beginners to buy this knife as their first knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge.
