Yaxell Zen Utility Knife 12cm

Yaxell knives, meticulously crafted in the heart of Seki, the Japanese capital for sword-making with a legacy of over 700 years, seamlessly blend the techniques of traditional swordsmiths with advanced technology. Each knife blade in the Zen collection boasts a striking hammer finish achieved through the layering of 37 sheets of forged stainless steel. This process not only enhances the visual appeal but also creates small pockets of air, preventing food from sticking to the blade. The Yaxell Zen Utility Knife 12cm, slightly longer than a paring knife but smaller than a chef's knife, is perfect for precision cutting of smaller foods, with its fine tip making it great for peeling, chopping, and fine slicing.

Features:

• Blade has a VG10 super stainless steel core, which is covered by 18 layers of soft and hard high-carbon stainless steel on each side, producing the unique and rust resistant 37-layer Damascus blade
• The hammer marks on the upper part of the blade shows off the mastery of Japanese craftsmanship and features a stamped logo
• Yaxell blades are heated in a very hot kiln then tempered in high temperature, a heat treatment technique which makes the blades strong and durable with a hardness rating of 61 degrees on the Rockwell scale
• The wood-like black handles are made of FDA-approved Canvas-Micarta, an odourless and highly durable material of linen and resin, that is water-resistant, hygienic, and lasts decades
• Handles are perfectly polished and fastened with two stainless steel rivets, which give the knives outstanding stability
