DESCRIPTION

This is the essential trio for any serious home cook. We’ve paired three of our most versatile blades—the all-purpose chef knife, the nimble utility knife, and the precision paring knife—into one perfectly balanced set. It’s the ideal starter kit or a massive upgrade for your daily prep.

Your Daily Essentials

This set combines the three knives you'll reach for every single day:

  • The 8.5" Chef Knife: Your new go-to. This is the ultimate all-rounder, perfectly shaped for 90% of your kitchen tasks, from chopping vegetables to slicing meat.

  • The Paring Knife: An extension of your hand, designed for all the in-hand, precision jobs where a bigger knife is just too clumsy.

Razor-Sharp Damascus Steel

Each blade is crafted from 67-layer Damascus steel with a high-carbon 10Cr15CoMoV core, vacuum heat-treated to 60±1 HRC. This ensures exceptional sharpness, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

Ergonomic Rosewood Handles

The handles are made from natural rosewood, known for its hard texture, beautiful grain, and resistance to wear and deformation. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable and secure grip, even during extended use.

Specifications:

  • Blade Material: 67-Layer Damascus Steel with 10Cr15CoMoV Core
  • Handle Material: Natural Rosewood
  • Steel Hardness: 60±1 HRC

67-Layer Damascus Cladding
The alternating layers of steel create a protective jacket around the hard core, adding toughness and shock absorption while producing the beautiful Damascus wave pattern.

At the core of every Yu Series knife is 10Cr15CoMoV — a high-performance stainless steel equivalent to Japanese VG10. Wrapped in 67 alternating layers of softer steel, the Damascus construction protects the hard cutting core while creating the distinctive wave pattern that makes each blade unique.

60±2 HRC

Pro-Level Hardness

The sweet spot for a kitchen knife. Hard enough to hold a keen edge through long prep sessions, but tough enough to resist chipping on bones and hard vegetables.
10Cr15CoMoV Core

VG10-Class Performance

This is the same class of steel used by top Japanese knife makers. Excellent edge retention, easy to resharpen, and highly corrosion-resistant.
Vacuum & Cryo Treated

Precision Hardening

Each blade undergoes vacuum heat treatment and deep cryogenic freeze to optimise the steel's grain structure for maximum performance.

REAL DAMASCUS. REAL PERFORMANCE.

The Beauty Isn't Just Skin Deep

Every wave in the Damascus pattern is real — the visible result of 67 layers of steel folded around a high-performance core. It's not decoration. It's engineering.

PROVEN PERFORMER

The Yu Series pairs 10Cr15CoMoV steel with traditional rosewood for a knife that performs in the kitchen and looks stunning on the bench. At 60 HRC, the edge stays sharp through long prep sessions while remaining easy to maintain at home with a basic whetstone.

Handle Design

Natural Rosewood
Warmth

The Yu Series handle is crafted from natural rosewood — a dense, oil-rich hardwood prized for its warmth, durability, and beautiful grain. Each handle develops a richer patina over time, becoming more personal with use. The ergonomic shape reduces fatigue and provides a confident, secure grip.

Warm

Natural rosewood brings warmth and character to every cut.

Durable

Oil-rich grain resists moisture and wear naturally.

Personal

Each handle develops its own unique patina over time.

Why Choose
the Yu Series

The Yu Series is where Damascus beauty meets everyday reliability. With 15 knife types — the widest selection in any Damascus series — there's a Yu for every task in your kitchen. From delicate paring to heavy-duty cleavers, every blade shares the same proven steel and premium craftsmanship.

If you want a Damascus knife that looks incredible, performs brilliantly, and doesn't demand specialist maintenance, the Yu Series delivers. The rosewood handle adds a warmth and character that modern synthetic handles simply can't match.

FAQs

Where are Xinzuo knives made?

All Xinzuo knives are manufactured in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province, China. Yangjiang has been a centre for blade-making for over 1,400 years, making it one of the world's oldest knife-making regions. We use modern CNC-controlled forging and vacuum heat treatment to ensure consistent quality.

What is your warranty?

Every Xinzuo product comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. This covers blade delamination, handle cracking under normal use, and premature corrosion. We also offer 30-day returns if you're not completely satisfied. As an Australian company, all purchases are protected under Australian Consumer Law. See our warranty page for details.

Can I put my knife in the dishwasher?

No, and this applies to all quality kitchen knives. Dishwashers use harsh detergents and high heat that damage blade edges and can corrode steel. Hand wash with warm soapy water, dry immediately, and store properly. It takes 10 seconds and protects your knife for life.

How do I choose the right series?

Supreme: German steel, low maintenance, great value. Retro: Japanese-grade steel with Damascus, better edge retention. Mo: VG10 core with 67-layer Damascus, premium performance and aesthetics. Lan: Powder steel at 62 HRC, our sharpest and longest-lasting edge. See our series comparison page for a detailed breakdown.
