Description

The Yu Classic Collection 8.5-inch Damascus Chef’s Knife is one of our bestsellers. Due to its premium quality and evergreen classic design, it is one of the most popular and best-selling chef’s knives of 2019 and a great model to buy in 2020 at a discounted price.

  • The blade reflects an excitingly beautiful Damascus rose steel pattern.
  • There are 33 layers of Damascus 316L steel on each side and the core is made from the highest quality 10Cr15CoMoV steel (Japanese VG-10), which together form a 67-layered blade.
  • The knife has a bit more robust and wider blade when compared to other ‘lighter’ knives. There’s almost no flexing of the blade (which is a desirable thing).
  • The hardness level of HCR-60 and special heat treatment during the production makes the knife resistant to wear, and it holds the edge for a long time. The blade is hard, but not brittle.
  • An ergonomically designed handle made of rosewood gives it an all-rounded aesthetic look and an organic grip feel.

As confirmed by many customers, this is a knife that is definitely worth its price and an item you can proudly add to any knife collection. If you are not sure which chef’s knife to choose, we recommend this one.

Handling and Maintenance

To ensure your knife stays sharp and beautiful for a long time, please follow the listed instructions and tips:

Washing:

  • Do not wash your knife in a dishwasher. It is best to wash the blade immediately after use under the tap water.
  • Do not wipe the blade with an abrasive washing sponge. Use soft cloth instead.
  • Avoid using abrasive chemicals (you can use mild soap).
  • After washing, wipe the blade with a dry cloth.

Storage:

  • Store your knife separately from other cutlery items. Use a knife stand, knife bag, or a sheath (saya).

Handling and Usage:

  • Use a soft/medium hardness cutting board or pad (wood, plastic, rubber). Do not use glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards.
  • Do not cut through bone or hard nuts, hard fruit or vegetable shell. Avoid cutting hard ingredients.
  • Do not twist the blade or try to pry open ingredients.

Honing and Sharpening:

  • Re-sharpen your knife when necessary.
  • If you hone your knife on a leather strap or honing rod often, you will significantly reduce the need for re-sharpening.
  • When sharpening, use good quality sharpening tools (800-6000 grit whetstone, sharpening rods, and better quality kitchen knife sharpeners).

  58. L***a

    Knife came ukrainu for 12 days, that very quickly. A great first impression. Cut to fit your weight, very good grip, convenient to use. Have knives same price range, but they cut much worse and once a week have to grind. About Damascus there is doubt, but it does not change the relationship to the knife. Wonderful knife, if an edge will hold at least a month will be very good. Thank you shop, store, for good goods, fast delivery, good luck.

  80. I***h

    The knife feels very good, it’s very sharp and I recommend to buy a sharpening stone (Japanese), don’t use the cheap sharpers you can get for a few bucks, otherwise, you’ll destroy the knife… If you don’t want to spend so much on a known brand this will be your best choice 🙂 Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Package: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for the money: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  97. V***v

    Review written for those who are going to buy and want more information. Knife is reduced to zero from butt, shave hair is made with high quality butt fine processed, A rounded edges, that would not rub your fingers. Handle is comfortable and quality is excellent. But you must be prepared that the knife is not easy and it’s a real кухоник European. Who used to work with a knife сантоку or накири is not easy at first. As seen in the photo, knife wide, it is very convenient, your fingers will not get to the board. Holds the products when grinding disc. IN general, for the money knife. As show on yourself эксплуатаця write further review.

  98. J***l

    I would have given this 4.5 stars. the knife is very sharp and looks great. I have yet to sharpen and still do not know how well it holds its edge. it is a little lighter in weight than typical German 8″ chef which is good and bad depending on what you are cutting. As of now the excellent sharpness makes up for the lack of weight.

  99. A***n

    Incredibly sharp knife. Very easy to use. Real шэф.

  100. T***l

  106. Customer

    Excellent knife. Fast shipping.

  107. C***c

    Very pleased so far. The blade is wickedly sharp. The fit and finish is very good. The edges of the spine are nicely rounded to make a pinch grip comfortable.

  108. A***e

    Excellent knife advise all

  109. V***v

    Delivery to the rostov region about 2 weeks. Factory sharpening is normal. The product corresponds to the description. Today i will try in work, i will write off.

  110. V***v

    The review is written for those who are going to buy and want more information. The knife is reduced to zero from the ear, shaving the hair, made very high quality, the shoe is perfectly processed, slightly rounded edges that would not rub the fingers. The handle is comfortable and the quality is excellent. But you need to be ready that the knife is not easy and this is a real kukhonik european. Who is used to working with a knife santoku or nakiri will not be convenient at first. As seen in the photo, the knife is wide, it is convenient very, your fingers will not get to the board. There is adhesion of products when shredding. In general, for such money the knife is excellent. As it will show itself further exploitation, be sure to write an additional review.

  140. D***d

    отличное качество изготовления. работать удобно. посмотрим на долговечность

  141. V***v

    Нож красава. Заточка отличная, но я бы ещё довел его. Насчёт лазерной обработки поверхности я согласен,но обкладки основного слоя точно многослойная, это хорошо видно в 10 кратную лупу, поэтому нож сделан очень качественно. Единственно есть разница в толщине накладок с разных сторон, что надо будет учитывать при заточки, бьют то поэтому советую отдавать на заточку профессионалу. В работе ещё не проверен так как это подарок. Продавца советую однозначно.

  142. M***l

  172. Customer

    I really love this knife. I already have one of these for around 10 months now. It is really great, holds the edge well, I had to re-sharpen it only a few times, 3 or 4 times by now – but I use it constantly. I take good care of it, so it is almost as new. I purchased this one as a gift for my friend. Thank you for offering such good knives at the best prices!
