{"product_id":"8-5-chef-knife-b27","title":"8.5\" Chef Knife - Yi Series (B27)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when you've got a pile of onions to rock-chop before Sunday ragu, or a whole chicken that needs breaking down before it hits the pan. The 8.5-inch blade is long enough to work through a butternut without the tip dragging, and the extra half-inch over a standard chef knife means you're clearing the board with fewer strokes. Heavy enough to feel authoritative; light enough to use for an hour without noticing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDamascus Steel Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus cladding. Vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, it takes a keen edge and \u003cem\u003eholds\u003c\/em\u003e it through a full prep session. The layered Damascus isn't just visual: that cladding helps the blade resist chipping when you're working through denser produce like raw beetroot or a celeriac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRosewood Handle, Full-Tang Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood handle is triple-riveted to a full-tang blade, so one solid piece of steel runs from the tip through to the butt. That's where the balance comes from. It sits low in the hand with a clean profile that doesn't fight you whether you're gripping back for power cuts or choking up for finer work. Rosewood doesn't swell or stain the way cheaper timbers do near a sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5-inch chef knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood with triple-rivet full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Your daily driver for rock-chopping vegetables, breaking down proteins, and slicing through denser produce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yi Series (B27)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e B27-CS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with the Yi Series 7\" Santoku for push-cut vegetable work where this 8.5-incher is more knife than you need, and the 3.5\" Paring Knife for the small in-hand jobs like peeling apples or deveining prawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43990747643955,"sku":"B27-CS","price":139.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/85-chef-knife-yi-series-b27-6646436.webp?v=1770232905","url":"https:\/\/xinzuo.com.au\/products\/8-5-chef-knife-b27","provider":"Xinzuo Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
