Japanese boning knife Yaxell RAN 15cm blade damask 69 layers

This Yaxell RAN boning knife is ideal for everyday bone-in meat processing!

A fine, highly effective blade

The Japanese boning knife has a 15cm blade characterized by its slender, raised tip. This design enables it to easily reach the small nooks and crannies around meat bones to recover all the meat without damaging it.

The heart of the blade is made from VG10 steel, an expensive material renowned for its excellent characteristics. It contains around 15% chromium, 1% carbon, 1% molybdenum, 1.5% cobalt and 0.2% vanadium, giving it a hardness of 61 HRC. This composition makes it ten times sharper and more robust than standard steels.

As this VG10 steel core cannot be used on its own, it is coated with 34 alternating layers of hard and soft steel on each side. The result is a 69-layer damascus blade with high strength and elasticity, for a virtually perfect blade.

Such a blade makes the knife suitable for both amateur and professional cooks. You benefit from a durable cutting edge and great control to make clean cuts with ease.

An elegant, long-lasting micarta handle

The boning knife handle is made from black canvas micarta, a material composed of 40% resin and 60% linen. This durable composite resists temperature variations and withstands heat up to +150°C.

Micarta is also highly resistant to humidity, which prevents it from shrinking. As a result, you can be sure that no gaps will form between blade and handle. Micarta is also approved by the FDA for use in professional kitchens .

With its curved shape, the knife's handle provides a pleasant, intuitive grip to make cutting as easy as possible.

Finally, the handle features two stainless steel rivets that fit directly into the knife's solid tang. The thick 18/10 stainless steel tang is highly resistant to corrosion.
