Yaxell Taishi Kiritsuke 20cm

The Yaxell Taishi Kiritsuke 20 cm is a modern Japanese k-tip knife designed for cooks who want precision, control, and clean presentation. With a long cutting edge and a distinctive kiritsuke-style point, it excels at push cutting, crisp slicing, and accurate detail work—ideal for vegetables, herbs, and refined finishing cuts.

The blade uses a 3-layer construction with a VG10 “super stainless steel” core composed of cobalt, molybdenum, and vanadium, clad with high-quality stainless steel on both sides. This structure supports durability and corrosion resistance, while delivering an extremely sharp cutting edge and long cutting performance. A distinctive KATANA sword wave line is clearly observed on the blade, adding a refined signature detail.

For confident handling, the handle is made from EU food-safe regulation approved black beech pakkawood to provide outstanding stability. A stainless steel bolster and end cap help ensure excellent balance for the whole knife, giving you a secure, stable feel from prep to plating.

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 knife safely (block, sheath, or magnetic rack) to help protect the cutting edge.
