Most nights this is the knife to reach for, rocking through onions and herbs and slicing meat or fish. Well balanced, it handles a whole cabbage yet stays agile for garlic.

Reviews
This knife is fantastic. Super sharp and handles well in my hand. It's a winner for me.
Excellent Knife, well balanced, sharp as hell.
Do yourself a favour and get one of these, like now!
I have the exact same knife as this. I was duped into buying it for $149 from a facebook post giving a fictitious story about a blacksmith in Australia who suffered from arthritis and had to close his business. Knife is unbranded, which was the first giveaway and came from China or HK. Not happy.
Roy Dieudonné.
Hi Roy, I’m sorry you were caught by that Facebook ad. The Australian blacksmith story was not ours, and we have never used it. Xinzuo knives are made in Yangjiang, China, which we state throughout our website. If you bought from us and received an unbranded knife, please contact me because that is not what should have arrived. I’ll arrange a return and full refund. If it came from another seller, I’m still happy to help identify it. Dylan
pretty deasent knifes exept the 2 small ones still trying to get them as sharp as the others
This was an anniversary gift for my partner, he loves it. I am an ex-chef and am quite particular about knives. I love it too! It’s well balanced and visually stunning. Very happy, I will be ordering again!
Beautifully packaged with a lot of nice touches, making everything feel of the best quality and care taken in putting it all together.
The knife block itself is a lovely piece of wood and each knife is amazing. The look of the Damascus pattern as well as the wooden handle is outstanding, and the mosaic pin just sets it off nicely. The knifes feel so good in the hand and they are extremely sharp. The whole set takes pride of place on the kitchen bench and is very ascetically pleasing to look at.
I’ve been using my cleaver for a few weeks now and finding it very versatile
It is both practical and attractive
It’s definitely the sharpest and most powerful knife
I’ve ever used
Super happy with this bread knife. VERY sharpe!
I use them daily at my job and they have exceeded my expectations. Amazing knives especially for the price!
beautiful fillet nife very sharp thank you
An amazing knife! I love using it as it is so sharp and well balanced. Visually it is stunning with the rosewood handle and damascus blade. I now eat more vegetables as I love using it so much.
Bought these and were amazed with the quality and definitely sharpness. Never had proper knives but so glad we bought these.

The knife looked sharp before using it, and it was. Sliced through meat and vegies with ease. Better than other knives the wife purchased.

Feels great in the hand, well balance and sharp.
My partner is a butcher and even tho I don’t know too much about knives yet he knows so much and absolutely loved the knife whetstone and honing rod I got him for-his birthday, I am slowing learning more and more about all of it and so excited to learn as much as possible, eventually I want to get a lot more from the website!!!
Very sharp
Great balance, utility and sharpness. The damascus pattern on the blade is not as pronounced as in the pictures. Everyone loves it !
Great looking knife that does a great job of doing what it is designed to do.
Great service as well thanks guys.
It’s a bread winner.
Cheers.
Beautifully crafted knife, prompt and efficient service.

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.
