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 showcases a striking hammer finish achieved through the layering of 37 sheets of forged stainless steel. This process not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also creates small air pockets, preventing food from sticking to the blade. The Yaxell Zen Slicing Knife 23cm, designed for high-precision, thin slicing of meats, fruits, or vegetables, is well-balanced and easy to handle, making it ideal for heavier slicing tasks like carving through a Sunday roast.
