About Yaxell:

Founded in 1932, Yaxell today remains a family-run knife maker in Seki, an iconic city in the history of Japanese knife-making.

Every knife is hand-made – from the forging of the blade to the carving of the logos. Yaxell blades have won numerous awards all over the globe and are used and acclaimed by world class chefs. Exclusive to Divertimenti, we are the Yaxell experts.

During production, Yaxell knives go through a very stringent process in which the blade is heated in a kiln at extreme temperatures, then ice hardened before it’s placed in high heat a second time to ensure the blade is durable, strong, and guaranteed to offer top long-lasting performance. This type of special production process also makes the knife’s blade corrosion-resistant.
