The Yaxell RAN Japanese Damascus Small Santoku Knife 125mm is a broad-bladed Asian-profile knife for controlled push cuts, fine slicing and efficient vegetable preparation.

Key Features

  • 125 mm blade sized for vegetables, boneless proteins and fine slicing
  • Fine straight edge
  • 193-layer Damascus construction
  • SG2 micro-carbide powdered-steel core hardened to 63 HRC
  • Black canvas Micarta handle; wooden sheath supplied on individual knives
  • Made in Seki, Japan

Why Choose This Product

Choose this for precise, controlled board work and a flatter cutting action than a traditional Western chef's knife. The compact format is particularly nimble for small vegetables, garnish work and restricted board space. Within the Super Gou Ypsilon range, this model stands out for Yaxell's statement range, delivering exceptional edge retention, elaborate Damascus work and presentation-level finishing.
Simply Hospitality Notes

This profile rewards controlled push cuts and a stable knife-friendly board. Avoid bones, frozen food and twisting cuts; the fine edge is designed for precision rather than impact.

Product Guide

Use a forward-and-down push cut and lift the blade cleanly between strokes. The broad face is useful for transferring prepared ingredients, but use the spine—not the edge—to move food across the board.

Brand Guide

About Yaxell: Yaxell has produced kitchen knives in Seki, Japan since 1932, combining the region's blade-making heritage with modern stainless and powdered steels. Its ranges progress from practical three-layer knives to highly layered VG10 and SG2 Damascus collections, giving customers meaningful choices in edge retention, finish, handle and investment level.

Product Details

The broad face gives useful knuckle clearance and can help transfer prepared ingredients, while the flatter edge profile rewards a controlled forward-and-down cutting action. The Super Gou Ypsilon specification pairs 193-layer Damascus construction and black canvas Micarta handle; wooden sheath supplied on individual knives to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.
