Yaxell Ketu SG2 9.5" Chef's Knife -Japanese Craftmanship

Core Benefits & Specs

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan - Exclusive SG2 Powder Steel for Premium Edge Retention

Why Choose Our Knife?

Our knife is handcrafted in the famous city of Seki, Japan, using high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel. SG2 steel is unique, produced through powder metallurgy, resulting in a very fine microstructure. This allows the blade to be further hardened without sacrificing toughness.

Exceptional Hardness and Durability

Heat treated and ice hardened to an impressive 63 Rockwell hardness (HRC), our knife outperforms VG10, AUS10, and similar steels. The stainless clad 3-layer construction further protects the SG2 cutting core and enhances corrosion resistance.

Aesthetic and Functional Design

The stunning tsuchime ("hammered") blade finish promotes better food release. The hand-sharpened highly polished edge (12 degrees, even double bevel) ensures razor sharpness right out of the box.

Durable andComfortable Handle

Our fully contoured handle is made of resin-infused wood fibers, offering both comfort and durability. The stainless steel bolster provides perfect balance. The handle is adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo.
