Great knife to add to collection. Yaxell knives are nice and sharp and easy to keep that way. Kitchen Warehouse are always a pleasure to deal with, so have bought the (adult) Kids a Yaxell knife each for Xmas

perfect pairing for my chef's knife
5 Stars
I was after a good utility knife to go along side my chef's knife (gyuto) and wanted one with the Damascus. The 12cm feels my the perfect size. The 15cm for a lot of other utility knifes seems like it'd be too long for my liking.

Precision instrument and a work of art
5 Stars
This paring knife is like no other I've had. At 99 g. it sits comfortably in my hand not feeling heavy or lightweight. The razor sharp blade and point, glide into the fruit and vegetables without resistance requiring no effort - like waving a baton in the air! Then to finish of, the wavy pattern of the damascus blade always captures my eye when washing it, appreciating the fine art of Japanese craftsmanship.

Yaxell 255mm Slicing Knife
5 Stars
Bought this knife to complete my compliment of Yaxell Knives The slicing knife is typical of all Yaxell knifes, incredibly sharp, beautifully made The knifes balance is perfect It is also nice & has a tactile feel The blade is rigid & cuts thick & thin meat & tough vegetables with ease. I totally recommend this & all other Yaxell knives. Using such sharp knives is a pleasure & also affords the user to handle with great care Thanks Yaxell

mini chef knife
5 Stars
Just received my knife today. Very prompt delivery service & great pricing from Kichenwarehouse . Pros: -Nice box packaging with little Yaxell instruction with multi language -Very sharp straight out the box - Beautifully machined/polised blade -Lovely Micarta handle Cons: - Balance is slightly incline to the handle than mid point Nonetheless, it's a nice grip feel - Beautiful damascus pattern but only wished it was etched darker to exhibit the layering. The actual blade is more mirror finish than what's shown on web photo. Summary: Overall, it's still a beautiful knife & the size is perfect for the smaller jobs. Definite keeper

Premium Japanese knives
Since 1932, Yaxell has been crafting professional kitchen knives using traditional Japanese sword-making techniques perfected over 700 years. It is based in the city of Seki in Gifu prefecture, the renowned sword-making capital of Japan. After carrying weapons in public was banned, demand for swords dropped significantly. Local swordsmiths channelled their skill to producing an essential product—kitchen knives of the highest quality.
Yaxell knives are made with the most advanced technology and materials combined with the unsurpassed expertise of skilled craftsmen who forge the knives by hand. A special heat treatment process makes the blade incredibly durable, able to hold its edge, and resistant to corrosion.
Exceptionally sharp, remarkably strong, and strikingly beautiful, Yaxell knives are made for discerning home-cooks and professional chefs.
