## Description

The Yaxell Ran Plus Kiritsuke Knife is designed for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife. It works extremely well with vegetables, julienne, dice, and more. Can also be used for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, particularly fish, and slices cooked proteins with grace and ease. The straight edge won't rock through cuts such as a traditional chef's knife. Yaxell Ran Plus is constructed of Japanese VG10 Cobalt Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel with 34 layers of hard and soft stainless steel on each side, resulting in 69 layers total. The surface impresses a fascinating Damascus design pattern. The handle is made of black resin and linen Canvas Micarta with two stainless steel rivets. The canvas material is dyed black and brilliantly finished to last for decades. The engraved end-cap of the handle is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which provides outstanding stability and balance.

Review: This thing is a monster - I have a decent size kitchen knife collection. Currently 36 knives with most of them being Japanese steel and a few Germans. I have Shun, Enso, Miyabi, Yaxell, Zwilling Henckels, and a lot of Japanese hand forged high carbon steel knives. This is, without a doubt one of the sharpest, if not the sharpest knife I've ever seen right out of the box. This is frighteningly sharp. There is almost zero resistance when cutting veg and it just glides through meat. Honestly, if you're not skilled with knives I would highly recommend *not* getting this knife. This knife will bite you quickly without you even knowing it if you're not 100% focused. You won't even feel it. But if you know what you're doing this knife is an absolute beast
Review: Excellent - Been using it for almost 3 years now. Absolutely love it. Keeps an edge, sharpens easy, blade ergonomics are great. Would buy another

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It does not cut it glides through the food.
*by M***E on January 19, 2022*

A truly amazing tool in the kitchen! The finish on the knife is perfect from the edge sharpness, handle finish, balance all perfect. Yaxcell knives are produced in a medium size factory and there are two master sharpeners who finish off each knife that comes out of the factory. A lot of traditional Japanese handmade knife skills go into each knife. I am already researching my next Yaxcell knife purchase because the first one is that good!
