Yaxell Sayaka Santoku Knife 180 mm, art. S-1

The Yaxell Sayaka Santoku knife, 180 mm, is a multi-purpose Japanese-style kitchen knife with a wide, nearly straight blade suited for slicing, chopping and mincing. In school, kindergarten and hospital kitchens this knife is often used alongside a classic chef's knife — its blade shape is well suited for daily work with vegetables, herbs, meat and fish.

The blade belongs to the Yaxell Sayaka series and is made from 3-layer Damascus steel with a VG10 steel working edge, giving it a hardness of 61 HRC. It is sharpened at a 15° angle, typical of Japanese knives, allowing for a thin, precise cut. The handle is a one-piece grey stainless steel design without joints or scales, making it easier to wash and store under intensive daily use in an institutional kitchen.

Specifications

The wide Santoku blade is convenient for cutting with an up-and-down motion without rocking the blade on the cutting board, which reduces hand fatigue for staff during long shifts in an institutional kitchen. Hand washing right after use, thorough drying and storage in a dedicated knife block away from other utensils are recommended. Such a knife can be considered a kitchen equipment item in tender purchase specifications for schools, kindergartens and hospitals.
