Utilizing modern powder metallurgy, the core of these knives is made of SG2 powder stainless steel that allows Yaxell to create a knife that is sharper and tougher than ever before. The precisely controlled heat treatment and ice hardening process gives the steel a fine microstructure that allows for unparalleled sharpenability and toughness. Yaxell Ketu knives feature a stainless steel bolster and a well contoured pakkawood handle for balance, durability and comfort. These knives weigh less than the typical German forged knife, but are slightly heavier in the hand than a traditional Japanese knife. This extra weight improves the balance and when paired with the thinly ground hand-sharpened blade, the cutting performance speaks for itself. Yaxell has been crafting premium kitchen cutlery for professionals and home chefs since 1932. As always, all Yaxell knives are made in their own facility in Seki-city, Japan.
