Yaxell Rei 8" Chef's Knife

The Yaxell Rei 8" Chef’s Knife is a striking fusion of performance, craftsmanship, and modern design. Handcrafted in Japan, the Rei series features a VG10 stainless steel core clad in 69 layers of Damascus stainless steel, providing exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The blade is enhanced with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, giving it a dark gray-black finish that reveals the Damascus pattern beneath—offering both a stunning appearance and practical benefits such as reduced friction and increased scratch resistance. The elegant octagonal black pakkawood handle with a red ferrule and mosaic pin provides a comfortable, balanced grip and a bold, refined aesthetic. Beautifully made and impeccably functional, the Yaxell Rei Chef’s Knife is a true statement piece for any kitchen.
