Nice edge out of the boxCons: Tang was a little warped. A few minor nicks. Good protection of the edge is absolutely necessary when fitting scales in order to prevent damage. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality steel, makes for a awesome project! *by V***6 on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on March 20, 2019* Beautiful little knife blank project. The steel is of great quality, and if you look close you can see the layers of forging near the edge. Slapped some curly wood and decorative pins on there, polished to a mirror shine and removed the logo, and a stunning paring knife is the result. Sharpens to a razor edge. I only wish they offered a version with no logo, but a little rouge takes care of it easy. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Knife is great, the extras aren't. *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on August 7, 2018* Knife came in tack sharp, although a little lighter than I anticipated.The pins it shipped with didn't set properly and took much more effort to set than they should, but in the end worked out OK.The gift box the knife came in was poor quality that wasn't even properly glued together, total garbage, I'd just throw it out.All in all though, mostly satisfied with the blank. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/78628735-zhen-japanese-vg-10-3-layer-forged-chef-knife-blank](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/78628735-zhen-japanese-vg-10-3-layer-forged-chef-knife-blank) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
