The Yaxell Ran 5-inch Santoku was razor sharp out of the box. The knife is the piece of art with exquisite Damascus pattern, light weight and well balanced. It cuts veggies like butter, in paper thin slices. The blade is 5 inch long (125 mm) and 1.5 inch wide (40 mm) at the blade base. Edge retention is fantastic, just a few strokes of F. Dick 11-inch Multicut Steel keep the edge razor sharp.
