YU SERIES · 10" CHEF

The Long-Blade Workhorse

Most kitchens run an 8" chef. The 10" is for the cook who has outgrown it. The extra blade length lets you break down a whole chicken in fewer passes, slice through a watermelon in one stroke, and run long horizontal cuts without sawing. The Yu series is Xinzuo's mid-weight Damascus line: a real folded-steel blade at a working price, built to earn its keep on the board every day, not sit in a block.

WHY 10 INCHES

More Edge, Fewer Strokes

Length and balance are what separate a chef knife you reach for from one you avoid. The 254mm edge clears a full row of onions in a single sweep and gives you the reach for large roasts and melons. The full tang sets the balance point forward of the bolster, so the blade carries the work and your wrist does less. Ground to 15° per side for a keen edge that bites without wedging.

THE STEEL

67-Layer Damascus, Not Cosmetic

The raindrop pattern is forged, not etched on. A 10Cr15CoMoV core is clad in 67 alternating layers of Damascus steel, then vacuum heat treated and deep frozen to lock the structure at 60±2 HRC. The core is what holds the edge; the layers protect it and give the blade its flex and pattern. This is a functional San Mai-style build, not a decorative print over cheap steel.

IN THE HAND

Rosewood And Full Tang

The handle is solid rosewood, shaped for a pinch grip and triple-riveted to a full tang that runs the length of the handle. That continuous steel spine is what gives the 10" blade its planted, no-flex feel under load. Hand wash only and dry it after use to keep the rosewood and the edge in condition.

FAQs

Is the Damascus real or just a printed pattern?

It is real. The blade is 67 forged layers clad around a 10Cr15CoMoV core, with 316/316L stainless Damascus at 33 layers each side. The raindrop pattern comes from the steel itself, not an etched-on print.

Why choose the 10" over the 8" chef knife?

The 10" gives you more edge per stroke. It breaks down large proteins, melons, and roasts in fewer passes and suits cooks who do high volume or have larger hands. If you mostly work small boards, the 8" is easier to manage.

How hard is the steel and will it hold an edge?

The blade is hardened to 60±2 HRC after vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle. That balance holds a 15°-per-side edge well while staying tough enough to resharpen easily on a whetstone.

It is made in China — is that a quality concern?

It is forged in Yangjiang, Guangdong, China's long-established knife-making city. The verified steel grade, heat treatment, hardness and full-tang construction are what determine quality here, and they are spelled out, not hidden.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

No. Hand wash only and dry it after use. Dishwasher detergent and heat damage both the edge and the rosewood handle.

What edge angle is it and how do I maintain it?

15° per side. Hone before use and resharpen on a whetstone at the same angle. The harder core takes a fine, lasting edge.

What is in the box and is it covered by warranty?

The knife ships in a magnetic gift box and carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
