Features of Yaxell Blue Breeze
The Blue Breeze series from Yaxell is designed for cooking enthusiasts who appreciate Japanese precision, but also want to keep things practical without overspending. The series consists of versatile knives: a compact utility knife for precision cutting tasks, and a santoku and chef’s knife for vegetables, meat and all-round use. That way, you’ll always have the right knife to hand for every cutting task in the kitchen.
Yaxell Blue Breeze blade
The blade is made of stainless steel and has a hammered (tsuchime) finish. Not only does this look stylish, but it also helps to reduce the amount of food that sticks to the blade whilst cutting. The core is made of MOVAX steel, with additions of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. This provides an excellent balance between sharpness, rust resistance and wear resistance. With a hardness of around 58 HRC, the steel is slightly less hard than that used in many traditional Japanese knives, but this actually makes it less fragile and easier to maintain. Perfect if you like the Japanese style but also prefer to keep things simple and practical.
Yaxell Blue Breeze handle
What immediately stands out in this series is the handle made of blue pakka wood. An unusual choice, as most kitchen knives stick to black or neutral wood tones. This deep blue adds a fun and original touch to your kitchen. The handle has a sleek and simple design, with rounded edges where necessary to ensure a comfortable grip. Thanks to the handle’s minimalist design, the focus is clearly on low weight and good balance. In practice, this ensures excellent manoeuvrability and great cutting comfort, allowing the knife to glide smoothly and precisely through ingredients.
