About its blade
If you notice some special "speckles" on the top layer of your ZK02 blade, please rest assured, these are not residual stains. The KATSU ZK02 blade is crafted from 17-layer ZDP-189 super steel and meticulously hand-finished by seasoned craftsmen. These "speckles" are a characteristic feature resulting from the hand-finishing process of this material.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Our knives are built to last. Cleaning and caring for your knife will maintain performance and enhance the life of your knife.
Tips for Caring Folding Knives
- Keep your knife dry; that means the entire knife, not just the blade.
- Keep your knife clean, particularly moving parts and locking devices.
- Keep your knife oiled; especially pivot points and the blade. Oil at least twice a year.
- Keep your knife sharp; a sharp blade is safer than a dull one.
- Again, store your knife in a dry place.
Tips for Caring Kitchen Knives
- Always use an appropriate cutting board in the kitchen to get the most out of the sharpness of your knives.
- Cleaning knives after each use will keep them in the best condition and promote food safety.
- Knives require a safe dry storage place, and a knife block is perfect for storing knives.

Excellent finish and geometry on the blade. Well done handle scales and action is good. My only knock would be the use of T6 hardware . Upgrade to T8 and we have close to perfection. Certainly worth the money. Get this and you will be satisfied for sure.

I bought the ZK02 ZDP-189 pocket knife back in September, I use it on a daily basis on all sorts of different material, and am a Knife Sharpener in Washington State. The only thing I have done to the edge is strop it to keep it razor sharp, which holds it VERY well, thanks to the 67RWH.
The handle is very well made, comfortable, the clip holds really well to the pocket, and lots of open space in the handle to where it cant get gummed up with pocket fibers or whatever you may get stuck in other knives.
The blade opens and closes with a great feel, not too hard not too soft. It is on the thicker side of blades, I am used to more thin knives for specific uses, but the Katsu ZK02 is absolutely wonderful for most everything!
It is my favorite pocket knife I own, and have had come through my sharpening shop!
