Xinzuo B27 8.3" 67 Layer Japanese Damascus Chef knife Rosewood Handles

A chef's knife is one of the most versatile kitchen tools – also making it one of the most popular - and it's a big favorite among both professional chefs and amateur home cooks. The chef knife also tends to be most people's go-to in the kitchen, because you can use it for just about anything. They can be used for chopping, slicing, mincing, and dicing, and you can use a chef's knife with different types of meat as well as vegetables.

Chef’s knives and gyuto knives are known for versatility and precision, between 8 and 10 inches and 8 and 12 inches long respectively. Both knives excel in chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, herbs, meat, and more. The gyuto knife is considered the Japanese counterpart of the Western chef’s knife, and you’re likely to find one of the two in most sets, ranging from basic to the most comprehensive collections.

This Damascus Chef knife is a beautiful example of well rounded design. Each blade is made up of 67 total layers of steel that is divided into two outer sections and one blade core.

The outer sections are made up of 316/316L Stainless Damascus Steel. Each section is 33-layers and is used to combat corrosion and rust. These 33-layers sandwich the blade core to protect it.

The blade core creates the cutting edge and is made up of 10Cr15CoMoV Stainless Steel. This allows the edge to remain sharp and focus on blade hardness rather than corrosion resistance. The edge is hardened to 60-62 on the Rockwell scale which is a good range that balances edge retention and sharpening.

The handle features Stainless Steel accents, Rose wood handles, and a decorative brass medallion. The hard edges have been dehorned for comfort and ergonomics, allowing for long term use.

The 8.3 inch Damascus Chef knife is a great slicing design, lending itself to more rocking cut techniques. But unlike a full Santoku blade, this Chef knife has a more pronounced tip allowing for better versatility.

This Damascus Chef Knife is destined to become your favorite kitchen knife.
