Experience the superior craftsmanship of Yaxell knives, meticulously crafted in the heart of Seki, the Japanese capital for sword-making for over 700 years. The Yaxell Zen Santoku Knife 16.5cm embodies the fusion of ancient traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology. Its exquisite blade showcases a stunning hammer finish, created by 37 layers of forged stainless steel. This not only enhances the knife's visual appeal but also creates small air pockets, preventing food from sticking to the blade.
Versatility is at the heart of this Santoku knife, as it effortlessly handles every task in the kitchen. From mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables, fruit, to slicing fish and meat, this knife offers impeccable control.
The core of the blade is made with VG10 super stainless steel, known for its high hardness and exceptional strength. It is enveloped by 18 layers of soft and hard high-carbon stainless steel on each side, resulting in a unique 37-layer Damascus blade that is resistant to rust and maintains its sharpness over time.
The upper part of the blade showcases elegant hammer marks, demonstrating the mastery of Japanese craftsmanship. Additionally, a stamped logo further adds to its authenticity.
Yaxell blades undergo a rigorous heat treatment process to ensure their durability and strength. They are heated in a specialised kiln and tempered at high temperatures, resulting in blades with a remarkable hardness rating of 61 degrees on the Rockwell scale.
The black handles of the Yaxell Zen Santoku Knife are made from FDA-approved Canvas-Micarta, a durable material crafted from linen and resin. Not only do these handles have a wood-like appearance, but they are also water-resistant, odourless, and hygienic. Their perfect polish and secure fastening with two stainless steel rivets provide exceptional stability in every cut.
