What that means: Classic Damascus beauty with traditional rosewood craftsmanship.
67 layers of Damascus. One purpose.
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.
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.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.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.Handle Design

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.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes — we ship to every state and territory. Orders placed before 12 PM AEST on business days are dispatched same day from our Australian warehouse. Regular Post ($10, 2-5 days) and Express Post ($17.95, 1-2 days) are available. See our shipping page for details.
