The Yu Series 8.5" chef knife is the everyday workhorse, a 67-layer Damascus blade folded over a hardened 10Cr15CoMoV core, ground to 15 degrees per side and set into a full-tang rosewood handle. Built for the work that fills a kitchen day: rocking through onions, breaking down herbs, portioning protein. Balanced at the bolster, hardened to 60±2 HRC, and finished by hand in Yangjiang.

FAQs
It is genuine forged Damascus. A 10Cr15CoMoV core is clad in 67 folded layers of stainless steel, 33 each side, so the pattern is the actual layered structure of the blade, not an etch or print on the surface.
The cutting core is 10Cr15CoMoV. It is vacuum heat treated and deep-frozen to a hardness of 60±2 HRC for edge retention.
It is forged in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province, the centre of China's knife-making industry, where most of the world's quality kitchen and pocket knives are produced.
The blade is ground to 15 degrees per side (the manufacturer states 15°±1), a thin Japanese-style angle that bites cleanly through produce and protein.
Yes. The blade steel runs full tang through the rosewood handle, which balances the knife at the bolster and adds durability.
No. Hand wash and dry it after use, it is not dishwasher safe, and dishwashers damage both the edge and the rosewood handle.
It carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
