Blade
The blades of the DRAGON knives are an extremely robust one-piece construction, made from 3 mm thick Nitrogen-Enriched American steel by Carpenter Technology Corp., a worldwide leader in Specialty Alloys. The steel is hardened to 63HRC for extreme sharpness and edge retention.
GOU 101 LAYERSBlade:
The blade has an extremely sharp cutting edge. It is made up of Japanese SG2 Micro Carbide powder stainless steel, which is enveloped by 50 layers on each side with soft and hard stainless steel. This powdered steel contains a lot of carbon and has an unprecedented hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell. Powdered steel is used because it ensures a high degree of purity and strength. The resulting blade is extremely hard, ensuring an exceptionally sharp cutting edge. The surface impresses with a fascinating Damascus design pattern - a symbol of the highest quality knife and its signature, GOU 101 layers.
Handle
The handle is made out of FDA-approved black Canvas-Micarta, which is an odorless and enormously durable material made of resin and linen. The canvas material is dyed black and brilliantly finished. The inner handle is a solid forged 18-10 stainless ingot that has been welded onto the multi-layered steel blade. The welded junction is invisible, and as strong as the material itself. Yaxell is unique in the use of this super strong handle construction. The trade mark GOU is engraved on the grip end in a noble style.

Yaxell's new series is made especially for avid home cooks. An all Japanese knife made of stainless steel with a traditional Japanese pakka wood handle. The knife is easy to use, stays sharp longer than European knives but is just as maintenance free.
The Yaxell Hana series offers extraordinary value in a handcrafted Japanese slicing knife with impeccable finishing touches and minimalist simplicity. The core steel ("MOVAX") is highly corrosion resistant and hard enough to hold a fine edge, but soft enough to be more forgiving and more durable than the harder Japanese steels found in other knives. These knives may require a bit more frequent honing, but definitely will not chip as easily as the super hard steels. Yaxell created a simple yet comfortable and perfectly fitted octagonal handle made of dark brown walnut colored pakkawood. The blade is hand sharpened to a 12 degree double bevel angle. Yaxell Hana knives are light, thin and razor sharp. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
