Xinzuo Utility Knife Review 1.4116 German Steel - 5inch - Yu Series

This video is about the Xinzuo 1.4116 German Steel Utility knife; it is sometimes also sold as a 5-inch Chef's knife. 🛒S H O P: The 5-inch version in this video can be bought here: https://bit.ly/3hkxrdb Since I don't recommend the 5-inch utility knife, I will link you to their 8.2-inch (210mm) version: 8.2-inch Chef Knife 1.4116 German Steel (210mm) : https://bit.ly/2PeGxMh A knife that I personally have tested and can recommend: 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 A review of this Gyuto can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GIIJe4xkIY&t Their official store on AliExpress can be found here: https://bit.ly/2IxbCu9 Official Amazon Store (not all knife versions available): NA: https://amzn.to/2Y1Ttrh EU: https://amzn.to/2BdWZZF N O T E S: While I like the consistent quility control of the Xinzuo brand, their knife style and design choice from the profile, balance point, etc. is sometimes questionable. This utility knife that is sometimes also sold as a 5-inch chef's knife failed at being a utility and a chef's knife. A back heavy balance point is counterproductive for a petty/utility knife in my eyes.
