Yaxell Rei 6.5" Santoku Knife

The Yaxell Rei 6.5" Santoku Knife embodies the perfect balance of performance, precision, and modern Japanese style. Handcrafted in Japan, it features a VG10 stainless steel core clad in 69 layers of Damascus stainless steel, creating exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The blade is enhanced with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, giving it a bold dark-gray appearance that reveals the Damascus pattern beneath while reducing friction and increasing scratch resistance. The 6.5" Santoku profile excels at chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, fish, and meats with ease. A beautifully crafted octagonal black pakkawood handle with a red ferrule and mosaic pin provides a secure, comfortable grip and a touch of elegance to match its performance.
