Yaxell Ketu SG2 Kiritsuke 8 Inch Japanese Knife

All The Features & Benefits Simplified

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan

High-Performance SG2 Powder Stainless Steel Our knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, using high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel. Produced through powder metallurgy, this steel boasts a very fine microstructure. This allows for enhanced hardening that does not compromise toughness, ensuring optimal strength and durability.

Superior Hardness and Edge Retention Our knife is heat-treated and ice-hardened to achieve a high 63 Rockwell Hardness Rating (HRC). This surpasses other popular stainless steels like VG10, AUS10 and their similar counterparts, offering improved edge retention. The reinforced hardness ensures long-lasting sharpness.

Unique Design Features

Stunning Tsuchime Finish The tsuchime, or hammered, blade finish is not only visually striking but also practical. It enhances food release, making your culinary experience more pleasant and efficient.

Razor-Sharp Edge Hand-sharpened for a highly polished edge (12 degrees, even double bevel), the knife is razor sharp right out of the box. The even edge ensures even slicing and dicing, making your kitchen tasks easier.

Comfortable and Durable Handle

Seamless Ergonomics Our fully contoured handle is made from resin-infused wood fibers, ensuring comfort and durability. The handle's design fits your grip perfectly, providing optimal control and support during use.

Balance and Design Touches Finished with a stainless steel bolster for balance, the knife is beautifully adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo, adding a touch of elegance and cultural significance.
