The Yaxell Hana Santoku Knife 16.5 cm is a Japanese knife model similar to a classic chef's knife but with a shorter blade and rounded tip. "Santoku" means "three tasks," referring to the knife's ability to slice, dice, and chop. The knife is made of three layers of steel with a core of hard Movax steel and rust-resistant outer layers, with a hardness of 58 HRC. The handle is made of dark brown pakkawood, a durable and hygienic material that combines wood and plastic, and features a traditional Japanese design.
