Yaxell Ran Nakiri 18cm High-Carbon Steel Vegetable Prep Knife for Chefs

Experience unparalleled precision in vegetable preparation with the Yaxell Ran 18cm Japanese Nakiri Knife. Designed specifically for effortless chopping and dicing, its unique rectangular blade glides smoothly from tip to heel, making perfect contact with your cutting board for clean, consistent julienne or fine cuts without awkward pushing motions – ideal for professional chefs and passionate home cooks seeking restaurant-quality results.

Crafted in Seki City, Japan, this award-winning knife showcases exceptional artistry and performance. The stunning blade features a resilient VG10 super steel core, enriched with cobalt and vanadium for superior edge retention, encased within 34 layers of contrasting high-carbon steel on each side to create its signature 69-layer Damascus pattern. Precision-forged and ice-hardened using Yaxell’s exclusive heat treatment process, it achieves an exceptional HRC61 Rockwell hardness rating. This ensures extreme sharpness that lasts longer and provides remarkable corrosion resistance for enduring kitchen performance.

Comfort meets durability in the ergonomic handle. Constructed from black Canvas-Micarta – a tough composite of resin-infused linen formed under high pressure – it offers a secure, comfortable grip that minimizes fatigue during extended prep sessions. Enhanced stability comes from the stainless steel end cap and reinforced by two solid stainless steel rivets.

As a family-run master cutlery maker since 1932, Yaxell blends centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship with modern innovation. Trusted globally by top chefs in leading hotels and restaurants, the Ran series delivers professional-grade quality for your home kitchen. Hand wash only to preserve its beauty; regular sharpening maintains peak performance.
