The **Xin Cutlery XinCare Utility knife red and black** is a stylish Japanese kitchen knife. This utility knife has a blade length of 18 cm, making it look like a small chef's knife. This does not mean it is not an incredibly versatile knife. Thanks to the sharp edge and tip you can use this knife to finely cut a clove or garlic or herbs, but also to finely cut larger pieces of meat and vegetables.

## Xin Cutlery XinCare blade

The blade is made from 304Cu stainless steel. This steel is corrosion resistant and also anti-bacterial thanks to the increased copper content. Perfect for kitchen knives. The only downside to this type of steel is that it is almost non-magnetic. So unfortunately, hanging the knife on a magnetic knife holder is out of the question. To make sure the knives are amazing to use, the blades are enhanced with a core made from rock-solid powder steel. As such they are corrosion resistant and have a hardness of no less than 62 HRC!

## Xin Cutlery XinCare handle

The handle is made from G10. A rock-solid plastic that can handle moisture, heat or acids. It can handle falls and shocks. This handle is enhanced with graceful red and black lines for a stylish look and feel. It has a typical, Japanese octagonal style. The so-called WA handle. This handle, however, is quite special. Literally! The handle is twisted for a graceful effect. Despite this remarkable shape the knives feel great in hand. A stunning mosaic pin at the end of the handle finishes this stunning design.

## Maintenance

Despite the stainless steel used and the strong G10 we do not recommend cleaning the knives in the dishwasher. Clean them by hand under a tap and dry them with a clean cloth. As such the steel and handle stay in great shape for a long time! Read more about [how to maintain kitchen knives](/en/ct/maintaining-a-kitchen-knife.htm).

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
