The Yaxell RAN PLUS Japanese Damascus Slicing Knife 230mm is a narrow slicing profile designed to produce clean, presentation-ready portions with fewer strokes.

Key Features

  • 230 mm blade sized for roasts, poultry, ham and service-ready protein portions
  • 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 over a chef's knife when the finish of the slice matters. Its narrower profile moves through cooked proteins with less drag, helping retain juices and produce cleaner presentation. The generous working length completes most slices with fewer strokes without becoming unwieldy. 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

The blade needs enough clear board or platter length to complete a smooth drawing stroke. Avoid short sawing movements; fewer, longer strokes give cleaner presentation and retain more juice.

Product Guide

Place the heel near the food and draw the blade through in one smooth stroke wherever possible. Wipe the blade between portions when presentation is important.

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 reduced blade width lowers drag through cooked proteins and helps keep each stroke smooth, improving portion consistency and presentation.
