REI Kiritsuke

We would like to introduce you to another highlight from the REI series from Yaxell - the fantastic Yaxell REI Kiritsuke. The name REI means “black” or “dark” in Japanese and reflects the elegant look and deep-rooted tradition of this knife. In Japanese cuisine, the Kiritsuke knife stands for precision and versatility, and this model is specially designed for fine work on fish fillets and the preparation of sushi and sashimi.

The 20 cm long blade made of VG10 Damascus steel has been finished with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, which not only provides an impressive, almost mystical look, but also makes the blade extremely corrosion-resistant and durable. This blade glides effortlessly through fish and other fine ingredients, helping you to achieve the precision that Japanese cuisine demands.

The ergonomic handle made of robust pakkawood, in a stylish mix of black and red, is particularly comfortable to hold and offers outstanding comfort even during long cooking sessions. The fine balance between blade and handle is typical of the craftsmanship for which the city of Seki in Japan is known. Seki is the heart of Japanese knife making and stands for the highest quality and centuries-old tradition.

To ensure the longevity of your Yaxell REI Kiritsuke, you should not put it in the dishwasher. Instead, clean it under running water and dry it carefully immediately. Occasionally oiling the blade and handle will ensure that this work of art from Japan serves you faithfully for a long time.

With the Yaxell REI Kiritsuke, you are holding a piece of Japanese cooking tradition in your hands - perfect for anyone who wants to take the art of cutting to the next level.
