  • A chef's knife is one of the most versatile kitchen tools – also making it one of the most popular - and it's a big favorite among both professional chefs and amateur home cooks. The chef knife also tends to be most people's go-to in the kitchen, because you can use it for just about anything. They can be used for chopping, slicing, mincing, and dicing, and you can use a chef's knife with different types of meat as well as vegetables.

    A Chef's knife is the most versatile knife in your kitchen. It has a strong backbone for tougher tasks like cutting up large slabs of meat, disjointing bones to slicing tougher fruits like pineapples and watermelons. You can chop, slice and mince fruits, vegetables and herbs. You can do just about anything in the kitchen with a chef's knife but having a few knives will make cooking easier, more efficient and especially more fun.

    Xinzuo Lan Series This Damascus Chef Knife would make a great addition to your collection. Each blade is made up of three major sections of steel. The primary core that serves as the cutting edge and two outer protective sections help prevent rust build up. 

    Blade Center Core: The core is made up of 14Cr14MoVNb Powdered Steel. This is high carbon steel with added, Chromium, Molybdenum, Cobalt, Vanadium and Manganese, allows for a very consistent edge that is hardened to 62-64 on the Rockwell scale. This hardness range is at the top end of the sweet spot of Damascus kitchen knives, which makes it harder, sharper, and more durable. Compared to 10Cr15CoMoV it delivers a sharper and longer lasting edge. While it has a Rockwell rating of 62–64 it is easier to sharpen and has the ability to achieve a sharper edge. It has a good balance with a golden angle of 15° Because of its ultra-sharp double edge it is suitable for both left and right hands.

    It is important to note that Xinzuo & Hezhen both use expensive high quality vacuum heat treatment and cryogenic freezing. This is how they obtain this sweet spot of hardness and other qualities that make there's steels a cut above the competition. 

    72 layers Damascus Steel: The outer steel sections are made up of 36-layers each of SUS410 Stainless Steel. This makes dealing with corrosive fruits or vegetables easier than with a pure carbon steel blade. The Raindrop Damascus pattern adds an additional beautiful aesthetic layer to each knife.

    Ergonomic Handle: Olive Wood is a slow growing tree that grows mainly in harsh conditions and dry soil. Due to these harsh growing conditions olive wood has some great properties for making knife handles. It is extremely dense and hard, wide variety of beautiful patterns, very stable wood against shrinking and expansion (only if you dry it for several years).  Processed Olivewood has a very smooth naturally shiny surface. Olivewood dries out more slowly than most other woods but occasionally needs a little olive oil or mineral oil, hand rubbed in. With a little maintenance your knives should last for decades. These handles also feature a flower design made from copper rivets that gives these handles an elegant finish. While being beautiful they are good for balance and a firm grip in your palm.

    The combination of expert craftsmanship and high-quality materials ensures that this knife will be in your collection for a long time.

Just received my B37 Chef knife today

Shipping was on time and packaged well. This is my first Xinzuo knife and at first glance I was impressed. I was excited so I pulled out some veggies and started cutting away. It cut them very easily as I thought they would but I was surprised how easy tomatoes were to cut especially when I tried thin cuts. nIf I ever need a 100 slices from one tomato this is the knife I am going to use. All kidding aside it handles and cuts well and the Damascus finish is such a beautiful pattern. I have lots of knives but I am considering buying more Xinzuo knives especially with The Bamboo Guys prices.
