Bread Knife 23 cm – Taishi by Yaxell

Do you want to bring culinary masterpieces to the table? Then you need the right tools. Start with a knife from the Taishi series — just looking at it makes you feel like a pro, as it opens up new horizons in your kitchen.

At the heart of the knife lies a 23 cm serrated blade, crafted from 3 layers of VG10 steel, renowned for its exceptional cutting power, hardness, and corrosion resistance. The VG10 super stainless steel core is sandwiched between two layers of high-quality steel, offering superior stability, edge retention, and durability. Forged using traditional Japanese hammering techniques, this blade delivers outstanding cutting precision with every use.

The black pakkawood handle, made from durable beechwood, is ergonomically designed for comfort and control, even during extended use. Both the bolster and butt are finished in high-grade stainless steel to ensure perfect balance and weight distribution — essential for smooth, confident slicing.

The wave-shaped Katana line visible on the blade gives the Taishi its signature aesthetic — a symbol of refined craftsmanship and timeless Japanese tradition.
