The **Yaxell Tsuchimon santoku 16.5 cm** is a practical and stylish Japanese kitchen knife with a hammered blade. The santoku is the Japanese version of the chef's knife. The relatively small blade is perfect for finely cutting vegetables, meat, fish, onion, garlic and, of course, different types of herbs.

## Yaxell Tsuchimon steel

The 3-layer blade has a VG10 steel core hardened to 61 HRC. VG10 is known for being a very hard steel, but also easy to work with. An experienced blacksmith can sharpen the blade very thin and razor-sharp. To give the core as much protection as possible, the VG10 steel is encased in 2 layers of stainless steel. These layers also create the line that can be seen just above the edge of the blade.

The blade has a hammered finish. In Japanese, this finish is called Tsuchime. Hence the name of this series! It is a traditional and artisanal Japanese finish created by the blacksmith's hammer.

## Yaxell Tsuchimon handle

The handle is made from micarta. Micarta is a material comprised of linen impregnated with an epoxy resin. This makes it a very strong material. It can withstand virtually anything, and has great water resistance. Micarta is known for offering plenty of grip. Even if it's wet. The oval and round shape of the handle offers good grip and is comfortable to hold.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

type_of_handle

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.

For the number of knives in the knife sets we stick to the information supplied by the manufacturer. Some brands consider the block to be part of the set, others don't.
