YAXELL

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.
