Y34812 Yaxell Hana Santoku knife

Santoku Yaxell Hana - 16,5 cm MoVaX steel blade

In Japanese, the term ‘santoku’ literally means ‘three good things’ in relation to the tasks usually carried out in the kitchen: slicing, chopping and mincing.

It is therefore the Japanese version of the European chef's knife.
The core of the blade is made of MOVAX superior stainless steel covered with high-quality stainless steel on both sides. MOVAX is composed of chromium / molybdenum / vanadium which can reach 58 Rockwell.
Blade colour: San Maï 
The cutting angle is extremely sharp and durable. Fearsome sharpness.

Handle in brown Pakkawood (composite material) resistant to temperature variations + humidity. High-quality octagonal shape gives it perfect balance and a flawless cut.
A perfectly crafted knife, worthy of accompanying you in the kitchen.

*Pakkawood is an artificial material that is manufactured for a very specific purpose, to be resilient and resistant to hard use. Pakkawood, while not a natural wood itself, still uses wood in its manufacturing process. Japanese knives are made for tough, repeated use and therefore need to be durable (especially to justify the initial investment as some Japanese knives can carry a substantial price tag!).
The reason why it is so easy to find a pakkawood knife. All is due to the fact that this material is hard wearing and resilient, which is designed to last as long as the material of the blade.
