The sharp edge of “ZEN 37” is generated by the skills of our artisans and Yaxell’s accumulated know-how about manufacturing knives. The secret of its sharpness lies in the 37-layer steel structure consisting of 18 layers of clad stainless steel placed on each side of the quality core material. With this structure, the ZEN 37 knife provides much improved rust-resistance and shatter-resistance than normal steel materials, as well as a long-lasting cutting edge. The robust material Canvas Micarta is used for the handle. The more you use it, the better the handle fits in your hand. It will become your special knife over time.
