Even if the name suggests otherwise, the ingenious Yaxell ZEN China chef's knife comes from Japan - more precisely from the knife city of Seki, the center of traditional blacksmithing. This extraordinary knife impresses with its 18 cm long and 7.1 cm wide blade, made from 37 layers of Damascus steel with a high-quality VG10 core. The canvas micarta handle with stylish stainless steel rivets rounds off the design perfectly. With an overall length of 32 cm, this knife combines functionality and elegance.

The wide, rectangular blade shape, which gives the knife an appearance similar to a cleaver, makes it an all-rounder in the kitchen. Despite its robust look, however, it is not a cleaver in the conventional sense, but an incredibly sharp tool for precise cutting, chopping and mincing. This blade shape is particularly appreciated in traditional Chinese cuisine for a variety of tasks: from wafer-thin vegetable slices and herb chopping to the preparation of meat and fish, this knife is a true all-rounder.

The Tsuchime finish on the blade, a hand-hammered structure, reduces food sticking and ensures smooth working. The ergonomic canvas micarta handle is comfortable to hold and allows fatigue-free cutting - even during long cooking sessions.

Whether Asian specialties or international dishes: With the Yaxell ZEN China chef's knife, you can bring the versatility and precision of Chinese cuisine into your own kitchen. A real eye-catcher and an indispensable tool for discerning chefs!
