Elegance, Japanese tradition and extraordinary performance come together in the 3-knife set of Yaxell's ZEN Series damask knives. Each blade has a core of VG10 steel, a high-quality Japanese stainless steel, coated with 18 alternating layers of soft and hard high-carbon steel on both sides, for a total of 37 damask layers. This guarantees not only high rust resistance, but also a refined and unique aesthetic. The characteristic hammered design of the upper part of the blade gives the knives a handcrafted and distinctive look, while reducing food adherence during cutting. The blades reach a hardness of HRC 61, offering an extremely sharp, precise and durable edge. The black Canvas-Micarta handle, composed of resin and linen fibre, is honed to perfection to offer a stable, ergonomic and durable grip even in the most demanding conditions. This set is the ideal choice for those seeking excellence, beauty and functionality in the kitchen, combining the best of Japanese tradition with modern materials. The set consists of: - Santoku knife cm 16,5 - Filleting knife \ 23 cm - Cleaver \ Chinese vegetable knife cm 18 Shipping time: 3-5 days
FAQs
What distinguishes Japanese knives from Western ones?
Thinner geometries, sharper edge angles and an approach focused on precision and clean cutting.
Santoku or Gyuto: which should you choose?
The santoku is compact and versatile for everyday use; the gyuto is closer to a classic chef’s knife and is ideal for long cuts and sustained work.
Are Japanese knives more delicate?
Yes, they often require more care: they are not suitable for bones, frozen foods or twisting, but offer superior cutting performance when used correctly.
How do you properly sharpen a Japanese knife?
Whetstone sharpening is ideal: a medium grit for maintenance and a finer grit for finishing, adapting the choice to the steel and usage.
