Premium SG2 Powder Stainless Steel
Experience the superior performance of our handcrafted 9-inch chef's knife, meticulously crafted in Seki, Japan, using the exclusive SG2 powder stainless steel. This unique material is produced through powder metallurgy, resulting in a microstructure that is incredibly fine and can be further hardened without compromising toughness.
63 Rockwell Hardness
Our knife undergoes advanced heat treatment and ice hardening, achieving a robust 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC). This surpasses other renowned steels like VG10 and AUS10, ensuring superior edge retention.
3-Layer Stainless Clad
Our knife features a sturdy, stainless clad 3-layer construction. This design not only protects the SG2 cutting core but also enhances its corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity and performance over time.
Tsuchime Hammered Blade Finish
The stunning tsuchime (hammered) blade finish improves food release and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the knife. The hand-sharpened, highly polished edge (12 degrees, even double bevel) ensures razor-sharpness right out of the box, providing you with the perfect slicing experience.
Contoured Resin-Infused Wood Fibers
Designed with comfort and durability in mind, our handle is made of resin-infused wood fibers. The stainless steel bolster provides excellent balance and stability. The handle is adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo, adding a touch of elegance and authenticity.
