RAN Santoku 16,5 cm

In Japanese cuisine, true mastery means more than just technique—it requires dedication, respect, and balance. The magnificent Yaxell RAN Santoku 16.5 cm embodies this philosophy in an elegant way. It symbolizes the three virtues to which it owes its name: “San-Toku” – meat, fish, and vegetables – the three main ingredients of Japanese cuisine for which this knife was created.

With its 16.5 cm blade made of 69 layers of Damascus steel with a high-quality VG-10 core, the RAN Santoku not only delivers excellent cutting performance but also an outstanding cutting feel. The precise grind ensures effortless gliding through delicate fish fillets, juicy pieces of meat, or crisp vegetables. Every cut is proof of the finest craftsmanship – clear, precise, masterful.

The finely drawn damask pattern on the blade is not only an expression of craftsmanship, but also a tribute to Japan's centuries-old sword-making tradition. It gives the knife an almost meditative aesthetic – a tool that shines both in the display case and in everyday use.

The Santoku is rounded off by an ergonomically shaped black Micarta handle that fits comfortably in the hand, resists moisture, and maintains control with every movement. Elegant, robust, and perfectly balanced – a handle that connects: hand and steel, man and craftsmanship, function and form.

The Yaxell RAN Santoku is no ordinary knife – it is a piece of Japanese culture that becomes a source of daily inspiration. When you cook with this knife, you are not just following a recipe – you are following a path.
