Xinzuo Chef Knife* Review 440C Steel - Yun Series (Gyuto*)

However, the blade profile weight and thinness of the blade indicate that this is a Gyuto, a Japanese adaption of the western chef's knife. 🛒S H O P: The store I bought the Xinzuo Chef knife (Gyuto) 210mm - Yun Series : https://bit.ly/2GTryqh Xinzuo Chef knife (Gyuto) 240mm: https://bit.ly/3pldsiJ Amazon Xinzuo Official Store: Amazon NA: https://amzn.to/2Y1Ttrh Amazon EU: https://amzn.to/2BdWZZF N O T E S: While the knife is sold as a chef knife, it is more like a Gyuto, so a Japanese adaption of the western chef's knife.
