Yaxell Knife Set Hana 2-piece - Chef's Knife & Utility Knife - 3-layer stainless steel - dark brown Pakkawood handle
Japanese craftsmanship — traditionally forged with modern precision
Dark brown Pakkawood handle — luxurious appearance and good grip
Complete basics — chef's knife and paring knife in one gift box
Cutting as it should be - with a knife that makes a difference. The Yaxell Hana knife set is not an ordinary knife set. This is Japanese craftsmanship from Seki, the city where generations have forged the sharpest knives in the world. With a 20 cm chef's knife and a 12 cm utility knife, you have the two most used knives in your kitchen - razor-sharp, beautifully balanced, and ready to last for years with you.
Why the Yaxell Hana knife set will transform your kitchen
A good knife is not a luxury. It is the difference between chopping and slicing, between working and enjoying. The Yaxell Hana set gives you exactly that: two knives that are spot on for almost everything you do daily in the kitchen.
- Razor-sharp from the first cut - The 3-layer stainless steel with a core of MOVAX superior steel (chrome, molybdenum, and vanadium) ensures a hardness of 58-60 HRC. You notice it immediately.
- Two knives, all basic tasks - The 20 cm chef's knife for vegetables, meat, and fish; the 12 cm utility knife for fruit, cheese, and precision work. Together they cover your entire daily routine.
- Traditional Japanese handle, modern grip - The octagonal dark brown Pakkawood handle sits stable and light in the hand - even after a long cooking session.
- Made in Japan - since 1932 - Yaxell sharpens knives in Seki, the knife city of Japan. That is not marketing language, that is a promise in steel.
- Gift out of the box - The set comes in a stylish Yaxell gift box. Perfect for yourself - or as a gift for that home cook.
- Stays sharp, easy to sharpen - Double-sided sharpened and easy to maintain with a whetstone for Japanese knives. This way, the results always remain top-notch.
3-layer stainless steel with MOVAX core - sharp steel that keeps up
The blade of the Yaxell Hana knives consists of three layers of stainless steel. The core - MOVAX superior steel - is a mix of chrome, molybdenum, and vanadium. This combination provides exceptional hardness (58-60 HRC) and a cutting edge that stays sharp for a long time, even with intensive use. On both sides, this core is protected by a layer of stainless steel, making the knife resistant to corrosion.
And the best part? Maintenance is not a drama. With the right whetstone for Japanese knives (minimum #1000), you can keep the sharpness in check. This way, you benefit for years from that first, beautiful cut. Double-sided sharpened, precise, and consistent - this knife does its job day after day.
The Pakkawood handle - stylish and functionally balanced
Pakkawood is wood impregnated with resin, making it more moisture-resistant than regular wood while still having the warmth and appearance of a natural material. The octagonal handle of the Yaxell Hana follows a traditional Japanese design - not just because it looks good (although it does), but because that shape simply fits excellently in the hand.
The dark brown colour gives the knives a luxurious, timeless appearance that fits in any kitchen - whether it is sleek and modern or warm and rustic. The handle and blade are carefully tuned for good balance, so you maintain control, even during longer tasks. Cutting vegetables into julienne, chopping a chicken, or filleting a mango - with this weight and balance, it is pleasure, not work.
Chef's knife and utility knife - a duo that works
The Yaxell Hana knife set consists of two complementary knives that together cover almost all daily kitchen tasks:
- Chef's knife 20 cm - your all-rounder for vegetables, meat, and fish. Wide enough to chop, sharp enough to slice thinly.
- Utility knife 12 cm - ideal for finer work: peeling fruit, removing seeds, garnishing, slicing cheese, or finely chopping herbs.
The knives have a total length of 325 mm and 245 mm respectively, and the set weighs a total of 450 grams. That sounds just right - because it is.
Beautifully packaged in the Yaxell gift box, this is also a gift that hits the mark. For a housewarming, birthday, or just because that one home cook in your life deserves an upgrade.
💡 Tip: how to keep your Yaxell Hana knives razor-sharp
Store the knives on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife block - never loose in a drawer. Always wash them by hand and dry them immediately after washing. For sharpening, use a whetstone suitable for Japanese knives, minimum grit #1000. This way, your Hana set retains that irresistible sharpness, day after day. And the dishwasher? Skip it - hand washing is the only right choice here.
