The Yaxell Hana Utility Knife 15 cm is a versatile knife, perfect when a chef's knife feels too large and a paring knife too small. It is ideal for tasks such as chopping onions, chili, herbs, and smaller fruits and vegetables. The knife is made with three layers of steel and has a core of hard Movax steel, with outer layers of softer, more rust-resistant steel. The hardness is 58 HRC. The handle is made of dark brown pakkawood, a durable and hygienic material that gives the same feel as wood and features a traditional Japanese design.
