Yaxell Konata Chef's Knife - 8.5" Made in Japan

Everything You Need, Nothing You

Handcrafted in Seki, Japan

High-Performance SG2 Powder Stainless Steel

Our knife is crafted using high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel, exclusively from Japan. Produced through powder metallurgy, SG2 steel offers a very fine microstructure, allowing for further hardening without compromising toughness.

Advanced Heat Treatment and Ice Hardening

We have heat treated and ice hardened the blade to achieve a high 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC). This process not only enhances edge retention but also outperforms other similar stainless steels like VG10 and AUS10.

Stainless Clad 3-Layer Construction

Our knife features a stainless clad 3-layer construction. This design protects the SG2 cutting core and significantly improves corrosion resistance, ensuring durability and reliability.

Hammered Blade Finish and Razor-Sharp Edge

The stunning tsuchime ("hammered") blade finish not only adds an aesthetic appeal but also enhances food release. The hand-sharpened edge, ground at 12 degrees with a double bevel, ensures razor sharpness right out of the box.

Ergonomic Handle Design

The fully contoured handle is made of resin-infused wood fibers, providing comfort and durability. The stainless steel bolster ensures proper balance, and the handle is adorned with a traditional Japanese mosaic pin and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo.
