Our knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, using high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel. SG2 steel is produced using powder metallurgy, resulting in a very fine microstructure that allows for further hardening without sacrificing toughness. This ensures exceptional durability and sharpness.
The knife is heat treated and ice hardened to a high 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC). This improves edge retention over VG10, AUS10, and other similar stainless steels. The stainless clad 3-layer construction protects the SG2 cutting core and enhances corrosion resistance.
The stunning tsuchime ("hammered") blade finish enhances food release, making cooking a breeze. The hand-sharpened highly polished edge (12 degrees, even double bevel) ensures razor sharpness right out of the box.
The fully contoured handle is made of resin-infused wood fibers for comfort and durability. The stainless steel bolster ensures balance, while traditional Japanese mosaic pins and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo add a touch of elegance.
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan, our knife comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
