Yaxell Ran – 2-Piece Knife Gift Set (Santoku Knife + Utility Knife)

The Yaxell Ran – 2-Piece Knife Gift Set (Santoku Knife + Utility Knife) is an essential Japanese duo for everyday prep. The set includes a Santoku knife 16.5 cm for quick slicing, chopping, and dicing, plus a Utility knife 12 cm for smaller tasks like trimming, portioning, and precise detail work.

Both blades are built around a VG10 “super steel” core composed of cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium, and carbon. The VG10 stainless steel core is clad with 34 layers of soft and hard high-carbon stainless steel on each side, creating a 69-layer, rust-resistant Damascus-look blade with an extremely sharp cutting edge and a refined, premium appearance.

Under special heat treatment, the VG10 core reaches a hardness rating of HRC 61 on the Rockwell scale, supporting long-lasting cutting performance and strong edge retention for daily kitchen use. Made in Japan, this gift set is designed to deliver clean, controlled cutting across a wide range of ingredients.

The handle is made from FDA-approved black Canvas-Micarta—an odorless, enormously durable material made of resin and linen that is built to last decades. A stainless steel end cap adds stability, while two stainless steel rivets fasten the handle tightly for confident grip and balance.

Care of the knife:

Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately to help protect the edge and preserve the blade finish.

Avoid the dishwasher and harsh or abrasive cleaners, and store the knives safely (block, sheath, or magnetic rack) to help protect the cutting edge.
