HOSHANHO AUS-10 Chef Knife 8 inch Loong Series
The HOSHANHO Loong Series chef knife is crafted from Japanese AUS-10 steel hardened to 60 HRC. It is designed for home cooks and professionals who want a durable, rust-resistant blade that holds a keen edge for daily prep work. The 8-inch plain blade suits a wide range of chopping and slicing tasks.
Ergonomic Wood Handle with Sloped Bolster
The ultra-durable wood handle features a distinctive sloped bolster that encourages a proper pinch grip. This shaping improves control and comfort, allowing a natural up-and-forward cutting motion without wrist strain. The non-slip grip adds safety during extended use in busy kitchens.
Ice-Tempered AUS-10 Steel at 60 HRC
The blade undergoes ice tempering and heat treatment across more than 40 production steps to withstand cold, heat, corrosion and moisture. At 60 HRC it delivers lasting sharpness for vegetables, proteins and herbs, though the single 8-inch blade cannot cover specialised tasks such as boning or heavy cleaving.

Questions about this item
How often will the AUS-10 blade at 60 HRC need sharpening compared to softer steels?
The high 60 HRC hardness holds an edge significantly longer than lower-hardness knives, so you will sharpen it less frequently, though exact intervals depend on your cutting volume and technique.
What is the first limitation you hit when chopping continuously with this 8-inch chef knife?
The 60 HRC AUS-10 steel prioritises edge retention over extreme toughness, so heavy-duty tasks like splitting bones or frozen foods will risk chipping before the edge dulls.
Does the wooden handle stay comfortable and safe when the knife runs hot or wet during a long prep session?
The ultra-durable wood handle is designed to withstand heat, cold and moisture without degrading, and its sloped bolster promotes a secure pinch grip even with wet hands.
