XINZUO Chef Knife 8.3 Inch, VG-10 Super Stainless Steel Gyuto Knife for Professional Chefs and Home Cooking, Ultra Sharp Kitchen Knife with Rosewood Handle - Yu Series

This is my third XINZUO knife. All three are of exceptional quality, sharp as razors and look beautiful in the knife block. They are a pleasure to use and I highly recommend!

This is a very nice high quality knife, and is extremely sharp so I gave it 3 stars for that. But, I specifically wanted a multi layer true Damascus steel knife and that is what was advertised. But the pattern that looks like multiple layers of different steels is actually laser etched. Just for show. And, in my opinion, deceptive advertising. I have become used to this however, as this seems to be standard practice with goods from China. They have no morals or ethics. This was going to be a gift to a family member who is a professional chef, but now I have to find something else so I don't look like a dork. FOLLOW UP- I want to follow up this review. The vender texted me with assurance this was in fact Damascus steel and offered to refund my purchase price with no requirement to return my knife if I was still dissatisfied. Wow. This makes me think I was too fast to judge and I need to make this right. As I said, this is a really sharp and high quality knife. And now I must report the seller really does want to have satisfied customers and are willing to go beyond normal expectations to provide service as well.

I'm a self taught chef. In the course of my history I have learned to appreciate fine cutlery. That's why I chose Xinzuo 8" chef knife. This knife has all the amenities as the higher priced knives do by a wide margin. Talk about a comfortable knife in your hand. I effortlessly carved the Thanksgiving turkey. This knife is so sweet to use. It really looked handsome at the table. I was proud of the knife. I'll tell ya...the Japanese really know how make cutlery. In fact I prefer my Japanese knives over a couple of German Santuko knives. If you're wanting to upgrade your knife drawer, this Xinzuo 8" chef knife will most definitely do the job.

A very good knife!!! Especially for the price. There are a few details they could have paid more attention to (the inlays on the handle mainly), but all and all, I'm happy with it. It's a heavy knife. Some people like that. Some people don't. Regardless, I like it for its Japanese style blade with a German feel. Yeah, it's made in China, but whatever. It's a good day to day knife for professional use.

Great product! Edge stays very sharp and is very comfortable to use. The ONLY negative is that the butt of the blade is sharpened and I have cut myself a few times on it. Takes some time to get used to.

I gave this one to a friend who really love cook and he love it

It comes well packaged, nice boxes. They're very sturdy. I used it to chop some veggies and cube 2 chicken breasts and I've had harder times cutting through butter than I did those veggies amd chicken with this knife.

Beautiful knife, very sharp and great feel.

Très beau couteau, de belle facture

Coltello molto bilanciato è un taglio preciso sono molto soddisfatto

This suits our basic needs and is a good quality!

Belle finition générale, mais comme souvent évoqué dans les avis, le "damassage" de la lame est moins prononcé qu'en réalité. Le manche est de bonne qualité ,et tient bien en main. A voir la longévité de l'aiguisage.......
