The Yaxell Hana Utility Knife 12 cm is a versatile knife, ideal when a chef's knife feels too large and a paring knife too small. Perfect for chopping onions, chili, herbs, and smaller fruits and vegetables. The knife is made of three layers of steel, with a core of hard Movax steel and outer layers of rust-resistant steel. The hardness of 58 HRC provides balanced performance and durability. The dark brown pakkawood handle is both durable and hygienic, with a traditional Japanese design that enhances the feeling of genuine craftsmanship.
