Zen Kiritsuke 20 cm from Yaxell is a Japanese knife model that combines the characteristics of a vegetable knife and a fish knife. Traditionally, it is used by kitchen managers as a symbol of status, as it is more difficult to handle than other knives. It's flexible and versatile, and can be used for most ingredients once you've mastered it. Yaxell Zen is an award-winning knife series, where the series' chef's knife has won Aftonbladet's big knife test three years in a row. The blades consist of 37 layers of steel with a core of hard VG10 steel and outer layers of softer steel. This construction gives the knives a sharp edge, extreme strength and rust resistance.
