Yaxell Ketu SG2 15-Piece Knife Set - Made in Japan

Overview & Features

Handcrafted Kitchen Knife Set

Superior Cutlery from Seki, Japan

Crafted in Seki, Japan, this premium knife set combines tradition with innovation. Each blade is handcrafted using high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel, a material exclusive to Japan. This steel is produced through powder metallurgy, resulting in a very fine microstructure that allows for further hardening without sacrificing toughness.

Exceptional Durability and Edge Retention

The knives are heat treated and ice hardened to a high 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC). This ensures improved edge retention over commonly used stainless steels like VG10 and AUS10. The stainless clad 3-layer construction further enhances corrosion resistance and durability.

Sleek and Durable Design

The stunning tsuchime (hammered) blade finish ensures excellent food release. Each knife has a hand-sharpened edge (12 degrees, even double bevel) that is razor sharp right out of the box. The fully contoured handle, made of resin-infused wood fibers, offers both comfort and durability. The stainless steel bolster ensures perfect balance.

Thoughtful Design for Optimal Use

The handles are suitable for both right and left-handed users, making this knife set versatile and user-friendly. Adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo, this set is not just a tool but a work of art.

Optimal Dimensions and Care

When assembled, the knife set measures 15" long, 12.75" high, and 4.75" wide. It is best hand washed only to ensure longevity and hygiene. Comes with a limited lifetime warranty, making it an excellent investment for any kitchen.
