Yaxell Ran Santoku Knife, 165 mm, art. 36001G

The Yaxell Ran Santoku knife, 165 mm (art. 36001G), is a Japanese kitchen knife with a broad, straight blade traditionally used for cutting vegetables, fish and meat in smaller batches. In school, kindergarten and hospital kitchens, it serves as a versatile everyday tool for a cook's prep work.

The blade belongs to the Yaxell Ran line, where a VG10 steel core is wrapped in 69 layers of Damascus steel — a denser layered structure than in entry-level lines, which further improves edge durability. Blade length is 165 mm and overall length is 300 mm. The sharpening angle is 12.5°, and the blade is hardened to 61 HRC on the Rockwell scale. The handle is made of black Micarta canvas, which withstands moisture and grease under regular washing.

Specifications

The Santoku knife is convenient for daily prep work in an institutional kitchen — cutting vegetables, fish fillets and meat in smaller batches when a broad blade surface and steady knife control are needed. A Damascus steel blade calls for hand washing without abrasive cleaners, drying right after use, and separate storage, which helps the edge stay sharp longer.
