Yaxell Zen Oriental Chef's Knife 18cm

Yaxell knives, made in the heart of Seki, the Japanese capital for sword-making for over 700 years, combine the techniques of traditional swordsmiths with advanced technology. Each knife blade in the Zen collection features a stunning hammer finish with 37 layers of forged stainless steel, which also serves to create small pockets of air, preventing food from sticking to the blade. The Yaxell Zen Oriental Chef's Knife 18cm is a classic oriental chef's knife with a broad, rectangular shape, similar to that of a cleaver, but with a thinner, lighter blade suitable for slicing, dicing and peeling.

Key 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
• Crafted in the heart of Seki, the Japanese capital for sword-making for over 700 years
• Equip your kitchen with other high-end knives from the Yaxell Zen range
