Hammered Blade Finish

The stunning tsuchime (hammered) blade finish not only looks amazing but also enhances food release. The hand-sharpened, highly polished edge uses a 12-degree bevel, ensuring razor-sharpness right out of the box.

Durable and Comfortable Handle

The fully contoured handle is made of resin-infused wood fibers for unbeatable comfort and durability. The stainless steel bolster adds balance, and a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo adorn the end.
