Our Exclusive Yaxell Takehisa Kiritsuke is designed for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife. It works extremely well with vegetables, julienne, dice, and more. Can also be used for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, particularly fish, and slices cooked proteins with grace and ease. The straight edge won't rock through cuts such as a traditional chef's knife.

Yaxell Takehisa features a 245-layer Damascus blade with geometric pattern and beautiful black beech pakkawood handle with traditional Japanese Samurai family crest. The special micro-marbide powder stainless steel ZDP189 cutting core with extremely high Rockwell hardness of 66 provides ultimate cutting performance. The four Japanese Kanji characters hand-engraved on the front side of the blade is known as "Takehisa, the Samurai Spirit". Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan with a lifetime warranty.
