Major Highlights
Handcrafted in Seki, Japan
Craftsmanship and Materials
Our chef knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, using high-performance SG2 powder stainless steel. This exclusive steel is produced via powder metallurgy, resulting in a very fine microstructure that allows for superior hardening without compromising toughness.
Superior Hardness and Durability
Heat treated and ice hardened to an impressive 63 Rockwell hardness rating (HRC), our knife outperforms VG10, AUS10, and other similar stainless steels. This enhanced hardness significantly improves edge retention, ensuring a longer-lasting and more effective cutting edge.
Corrosion Resistance and Clad Construction
With its stainless clad 3-layer construction, the knife protects the SG2 cutting core and offers enhanced corrosion resistance. This design ensures that your knife remains sharp and durable, even after extended use.
Sleek and Durable Handle
Our fully contoured handle, made from resin-infused wood fibers, is designed for excellent comfort and durability. The stainless steel bolster provides excellent balance and stability, while traditional Japanese mosaic pins and an embossed Yaxell kanji logo add a modern yet classic touch.
