Yaxell Ketu SG2 9.5cm Chef's Knife - Japanese Craftsmanship

The Lowdown On Features

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan

Crafted in the heart of Japan, our exclusive SG2 powder stainless steel knife is a testament to Japanese craftsmanship and innovation. SG2 steel, renowned for its superior qualities, is produced through powder metallurgy, resulting in a highly fine microstructure that enhances its performance and durability.

Exceptional Hardness and Durability

Heat-treated and ice-hardened to a 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC), this knife outperforms other high-end stainless steels like VG10 and AUS10. Its enhanced edge retention ensures it stays sharp for longer, making it perfect for frequent use in any kitchen setting.

Advanced Construction and Protection

The knife features a stainless-clad 3-layer construction, protecting the SG2 cutting core and enhancing its corrosion resistance. This ensures the knife remains in top condition, even in demanding kitchen environments.

Sleek and Durable Design

The blade boasts a stunning tsuchime ("hammered") finish, which not only looks great but also enhances food release. The hand-sharpened edge, at a precision 12 degrees (even double bevel), ensures razor-sharpness right out of the box.

Ergonomic and Durable Handle

The fully contoured handle is made from resin-infused wood fibers, offering both comfort and durability. For added balance and security, it features a stainless steel bolster. The handle is adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and embossed with an elegant Yaxell kanji logo.
