Yaxell Rei 9" Slicing Knife

The Yaxell Rei 9" Slicing Knife is a finely crafted Japanese blade designed for effortless slicing of meats and fish with precision and control. Handcrafted in Japan, it features a VG10 stainless steel core clad in 69 layers of Damascus stainless steel, providing exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The thin, kiritsuke-style (K-tip) blade excels at long, smooth slicing motions—perfect for carving roasts, filleting fish, or creating clean, even slices of sashimi. A sleek DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating enhances the dark, refined look of the Damascus pattern while reducing friction and improving scratch resistance. The octagonal black pakkawood handle with a red ferrule and mosaic pin offers excellent balance, comfort, and elegance, making this an outstanding knife for precise slicing of both cooked and raw proteins.
