Yaxell Zen Vegetable and Fruit Peeling Knife 80 mm, art. 35503

The Yaxell Zen vegetable and fruit peeling knife, 80 mm (art. 35503), belongs to the Yaxell Zen series, whose blade is built using a multi-layer construction of 37 layers of Damascus steel. The short 80 mm blade and 215 mm overall length make the knife convenient for precise, small-amplitude movements — a format traditionally used for peeling and preparing vegetables and fruit.

The core of the blade is made of VG10 steel with a factory sharpening angle of 15° and a hardness of 61 on the Rockwell scale. The black handle is made of Micarta canvas, a dense composite material resistant to moisture and repeated washing. In kindergarten, school and hospital kitchens, such a knife is used as an auxiliary tool for preparing vegetables and fruit separately from meat and fish knives.

Specifications

Knives made of VG10 Damascus steel should be washed by hand without harsh detergents and dried immediately after contact with moisture, since the multi-layer blade structure is sensitive to prolonged exposure to water. Storing the knife in a dry place, separate from other utensils, and periodically resharpening it at a 15° angle keep it ready for the daily preparation of vegetables and fruit in an educational or healthcare institution's kitchen.
