The Chinese hoe from Yaxell in the ZEN series is a versatile knife used for most kitchen tasks. The tall blade provides stability, while the thin edge is ideal for precision work. Yaxell Zen is an award-winning knife series, where the 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.
