Handcrafted in Seki, Japan Using High-Performance SG2 Powder Stainless Steel
Each knife in this set is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, using high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel. SG2 steel is exclusive to Japan and is produced through powder metallurgy, resulting in a very fine microstructure. This microstructure allows for further hardening without sacrificing toughness, making these knives exceptionally durable.
High-Heat Treated and Ice-Hardened for Excellent Edge Retention
These knives have been heat treated and ice-hardened to a high 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC). This improves edge retention compared to other similar stainless steels like VG10 and AUS10. The knives have a stainless clad 3-layer construction, which protects the SG2 cutting core and enhances corrosion resistance.
Stunning Tsuchime Blade Finish and Razor-Sharp Edge
The blades feature a stunning tsuchime ("hammered") finish, which enhances food release. They are hand-sharpened with a highly polished edge of 12 degrees, even double bevel. This ensures razor-sharp knives right out of the box.
Comfortable and Durable Handle
The fully contoured handle is made of resin-infused wood fibers, ensuring comfort and durability. It features a stainless steel bolster for excellent balance. The handle is adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo on the end.
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a Limited Lifetime Warranty
Each knife in this set is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The set measures 13" long, 12.75" tall, and 3.25" wide when assembled, providing ample space on your countertop.
