RAN 69 LAYERS:Blade:
The core material VG10 "super steel" is composed of Cobalt, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Carbon. VG10 stainless steel is clad with 34 layers of soft and hard high-carbon stainless steel on each side, producing 69 layered rust-resistant Damascus-look. The blade has an extremely sharp cutting edge. Our special heat treatment gives our blades the outstanding hardness rating of HRC61 on the Rockwell scale, ensuring long lasting cutting performance.
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. This material lasts decades. The end of the handle is made out of stainless steel, which gives the knife outstanding stability. Two stainless steel rivets fasten the handle tightly.

Each Ran Limited Edition knife is hand-forged by skilled Japanese craftsmen using a meticulous process: heated at extreme temperatures, ice-hardened, and reheated again. This process enhances corrosion resistance, durability, and edge retention, ensuring long-lasting performance even under intensive use.
With over 700 years of blade-making tradition, Yaxell brings the soul of Japanese craftsmanship into every knife. The Ran Limited Edition Chef’s Knife is not only a precision tool — it’s a symbol of elegance, tradition, and refined culinary artistry.
Each knife is handcrafted in Seki, Japan, a city with over 700 years of blade-making history. Yaxell’s process involves high-temperature forging, ice hardening, and a final reheat to enhance corrosion resistance and edge retention — resulting in a knife that performs exceptionally and endures beautifully.

The blade is made from 69 layers of damascus steel and a core of Japanese VG10 steel hardened up to 61HRC. VG10 is known to be very hard and can also easily be sharpened. The damascus steel is in nice contrast with the dark and light lines that run over the entire length of the blade. This combination of the type of steel and the finish ensures that the Yaxell Ran knives are efficient, but also look amazing.
