Yaxell Zen Chinese Chef's Knife, 18 cm

Dimensions: length: 32.2 cm, blade: 18 cm, blade width: 7.5 cm, weight: 320 g

The Japanese ZEN Damascus knives are made using the traditional layer forging method. The 37-layer knife has 18 layers of molybdenum vanadium steel forged on both sides of the VG 10 cuttting core. The blades represent one of the finest blade qualities and the hardness of the metal in the blades is  HRC 61. The handle is made of durable Micarta fiber. Due to the unevenness of the blade surface created during forging, the slices come off the blade more easily.

Especially suitable for processing vegetables, the wide blade makes it easy to lift the chopped ingredients directly from the board into the pan or pot. Thanks to the wide blade, there is plenty of finger space between the handle and the cutting board, enough even for a large fist.
