Yaxell Knife Set Hana 3-piece - Chef's Knife, Carving Knife & Utility Knife - 3-layer stainless steel - Pakkawood handle

Japanese craftsmanship you feel every day - from the first moment you take the knife in your hand to the last slice. The Yaxell Hana knife set is no ordinary knife set. It is made in Seki, the knife capital of Japan, by a brand that has known how a good knife should feel since 1932. Three knives, one box, ready for everything you need to do in the kitchen.

Three knives that can handle any task in your kitchen

Forget the hassle of a drawer full of dull knives that just don't do what you want. With the Yaxell Hana knife set, you have exactly the three knives you need - no more, no less. From coarse chopping to the finest precision work: this set has it all.

• Ultra-sharp out of the box - Thanks to 3-layer stainless steel with a MOVAX core and a hardness of 58-60 HRC, all three knives cut effortlessly through vegetables, meat, and fish from the first use.
• Complete essentials in one box - Chef's knife (20 cm), carving knife (15 cm), and utility knife (12 cm): together they form a trio that tackles every cutting task in your kitchen.
• Beautiful balance - The dark brown pakkawood handle and the blade are so well matched that even during prolonged cutting tasks, you never feel like you're fighting with your knife.
• Made in Japan - truly made in Japan - Yaxell has been producing in Seki for over 90 years, the city where the best knife makers in the world live and work.
• Timeless and stylish - The sleek blade combined with the warm, dark brown pakkawood is a combination that looks great in any kitchen.
• Perfect gift - Delivered in a stylish Yaxell gift box. No need for you to wrap it yourself.

3-layer Japanese steel: sharp, strong, and easy to maintain

The blade of the Yaxell Hana knives consists of three layers of stainless steel. The core is made of MOVAX superior stainless steel - a specific combination of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium that provides exceptional hardness of 58 to 60 HRC. That hardness means in practice: a knife that stays sharp for a long time, requires little effort, and allows you to slice thin pieces of roast beef, perfect brunoise of carrot, or effortless julienne of courgette without a second thought.

On both sides of that hard core is a layer of softer stainless steel. This gives the knife flexibility and makes it corrosion-resistant and easier to sharpen than fully hard steel. Double-sided ground, just as a Japanese knife should be. So you get the best of both worlds: a knife that is sharp like a Japanese knife and yet easy to maintain.

Octagonal pakkawood handle: traditional Japanese, modern comfort

The handle of the Yaxell Hana is made of dark brown pakkawood - a material you won't forget once you hold it. Pakkawood is wood that has been impregnated with resin, making it harder, more stable, and much more resistant to moisture than regular wood. No warping, no splitting, no hassle.

The octagonal shape is no coincidence: this is the traditional Japanese handle geometry, designed for a firm, comfortable grip that doesn't slip. Whether you're processing a whole pumpkin or finely chopping a shallot - the knife stays where you want it. The warm brown colour gives the set a luxurious appearance that enhances any worktop, even if you store the knives on a magnetic strip.

Three knives, three roles - how to use them

The Yaxell Hana knife set is assembled as a complete team. Each knife has its own strengths and its own moment at the table - or better said, at the worktop:

• Chef's knife 20 cm - Your all-rounder in the kitchen. Cutting vegetables, dividing meat, filleting fish: this knife takes it on. The 20 cm blade length gives you enough power for big jobs, yet remains manageable for precision.
• Carving knife 15 cm - For that one moment when you want to slice a beautiful roast beef or salmon into elegant, thin slices. The narrower, slightly shorter blade cuts smoothly and gives you control over each slice.
• Utility knife 12 cm - The smallest of the three, but certainly not the least. Peeling fruit, slicing cheese, finely chopping herbs, or small precise tasks: this is the knife you reach for when the others are too big.

Enjoying a good dinner together always starts with good tools. And with these three knives, you have everything you need to make every meal something to enjoy - whether it's a midweek stir-fry or an elaborate weekend dinner with friends.

💡 Tip: Store the Yaxell Hana knives on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife block - never loose in a drawer, as that damages the sharp blade. Always wash them by hand and dry them immediately. Want to keep them sharp for a long time? Use a whetstone for Japanese knives with a minimum #1000 grit. Then this set will serve you faithfully for years to come.
