Yaxell Ketu Nakiri Knife, 6.5 Inch Blade, Made in Japan

A Simple Look At Features

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, Using High-Performance SG2 Powder Stainless Steel

Crafted with exceptional care in Seki, Japan, our featured blade uses high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel. This unique steel is produced through powder metallurgy, resulting in a very fine microstructure that allows for further hardening without compromising toughness.

Heat-Treated and Ice-Hardened for Exceptional Durability

Our knife is heat-treated and ice-hardened to a high 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC), offering improved edge retention over other popular stainless steels like VG10 and AUS10.

Stainless Clad 3-Layer Construction for Durability

The stainless-clad 3-layer construction protects the SG2 cutting core and enhances corrosion resistance, making it perfect for daily use.

Stunning Hammered Blade Finish and Razor-Sharp Edge

The hammered tsuchime blade finish not only looks stunning but also helps food release more easily. The hand-sharpened edge, at 12 degrees with an even double bevel, ensures razor-sharpness right out of the box.

Comfortable and Durable Handle

The fully contoured handle is made of resin-infused wood fibers for comfort and durability, with a stainless steel bolster for balance. It’s adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo on the end.
