Yaxell Knife Factory Tour - Pride is Good

[@candiedisilvio9596]

It’s so refreshing seeing how devoted you are it your family and the pride the employees have to their craft. Thank you for sharing

[@Davearmstrong42]

I bought Yaxell knives because of this video... so thanks!

[@b-radg916]

What an amazing day… a special tour of the Yaxell factory, experiencing such a unique style of fishing, and dinner with the owner of Yaxell! So happy for all your success, Ryky!! I liked how at 4:31 the sharpener finished his sharpening by blunting the heel. I do the same on my knives… other than cutting up your dish towels, I've never seen a need for having a screaming sharp heel "corner" (unless you use your knives to open cans, which I've seen 😱). I'm super happy with Yaxell. The greatest knife in my drawer is their Dragon Fusion nakiri. My favorite, BY FAR!!

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

Clicked fast! I’ve got 2 from the Yaxell factory thanks to your videos. Love them!

[@Vahan210]

Love yaxell knives, I have 2 of them. That's cool you got to see the factory.

[@justindunlap1235]

Thanks for sharing such an awesome video. I fell in love with yaxell knives a few years ago, their price to quality ratio is outstanding (I still can't believe how cheap they are but still beautifully built). I even got a couple of my coworkers using their knives.

What a grand adventure. I miss Japan very much. Don’t neglect your devotional/quiet time. Safe travels and return to you family.

[@dianewomble527]

Good video Ryky. Love the take away insight, missing your family, pride in work, doing something very well and being happy in the moment.

[@makshima8545]

The cormorants are fitted with a band around their necks which prevents them from swallowing larger fish. So they give up the fish they catch to their masters and are rewarded with small pieces of fish. Great video, Ryky. Hope to make it out to Seki city on of these days.

[@tshev]

I have a Yaxell Knife. I appreciate all the hard work behind their great products. I use it daily, and it feels like I am getting in touch with Japanese culture and history.

[@ethanclapper6042]

This is amazing. Seeing how they are all handmade makes me want to purchase all my knives from Yaxell.

[@joemorales3498]

Ryky brother you are blessed. You were able to eat with the owner of yaxel. Wow Ryky! I know you had a blast! Congratulations on you success.

[@Bkarson777]

Amazing Vid, I am sure it was one amazing adventure. What a hard working Yaxell crew. Glad I decided to pick up 7 Enzo HD Util knives as groomsman gifts.

[@hrhamada1982]

congrats on your wedding. And you give better gifts than the ones I got. I got things that were relatively pricey, but completely worthless to me. (I hope they don't read this) At least I sent off two buddies on nice lives and they've got great kids now. That's whats important

[@jonathanhasselblad9954]

I am a cook and use the yaxell tsuchimon. Love them to death. Great pleasure to see the men and women who make them happen.

[@JG-gy1jk]

I really enjoyed your video, and I think your a very good man, and I wish more people had your view and heart about family and pride..you inspired me to do the best I can too...thank you again for sharing with us

[@sorciere777]

i just bought some knives from the ran series... wowed...simply impressed by all those female professionals on the scene... i will look after these knives even more!

[@JDStone20]

Interesting video! Yaxell makes awesome knives!

[@ryanperryman4824]

This is so awesome! You really are living a dream. Any time you need a Grip, you know, someone to carry the equipment and help out, let me know!

[@traceyhawkins2245]

Sooooo cool :-) I am glad to see your possibly going to partner with Yaxell ! I bought a Yaxell dragon Fire Nakiri and the quality is amazing. Now I am waiting to see what comes of this meeting and possible designs your working on.

[@mugensamurai]

Just brought one of their knives. Incredible fit and finish. I am still kind of iffy on taking it to work though it's just too pretty to look at.

[@user-mz6ts4xn6i]

How badly has it chipped yet?

[@7861blackthorn]

@@user-mz6ts4xn6i I've had 2 yaxells for a few years now heavily used on the line and only chiped the petty deboning chickens like a dummy. Microchips. Santoku is a trooper never chipped. Just got a ran+ kiritsuke today. Taking it in tomorrow at work. Time will tell but I'm confident there will be none.

[@justindunlap1235]

@@user-mz6ts4xn6i I've been using a yaxell mon on the line for 4 years now, and have dropped it on a concrete floor like a moron. Yet still no chips.

[@jovonntrujillo1143]

Ya u sold me on yaxell. I’ll buy a knife from them now!

[@phengyang2929]

Awesome video! Would love to see more videos of other knife factories!

[@cajadaj]

I have a collection of 6 Yaxell Knives, all GOU 101, which I have used in my home kitchen for over 5 years. They are beautiful and amazing, I love them, but tragically I don't think they are stocked by UK stores any longer.

[@perniciouspete4986]

Yaxell has stopped making them.

[@Darndiddlyarn]

I've got a couple of their dragon series knives made with carpenters BD1N, lovely knives.

[@talpistol]

Good video! I actually have the Yaxell Sayaka chef knife and it's sublime.

[@hrhamada1982]

great knife! Similar to a Mon, but with a metal handle!

[@vvcc1450]

it is incredible to watch them making those knives. It was very cute and thoughtful and respectful them holding the America flag when you arrived, very nice welcoming. I am dreaming of having one of those knives , I am only afraid it is too sharp for me ;)

[@Brainlessgod]

Great Video Ryky! Any Chance we see the a Burrfection brand knife in this video? Maybe the first to cut 300 strands?

[@josebetancur7927]

Nice video, I personally have a yaxell gou nakiri and is amazing. That's a very good brand for knifes

[@sinbadthesailor87]

Ryky, what on earth was that sharpening system they were using at the factory starting at the 4:00 mark? Are there smaller systems made for professional sharpeners like yourself? And would a system like that even interest you at all in your own business? Very curious about your thoughts!

[@vasilralev3921]

I love the knife sharpening round stone machine and the polish machine. Is there a way to buy one of these?

[@perniciouspete4986]

You can buy almost anything if you have enough money.

[@megane3rstrophy]

Thank you, did you test Yaxell Knife with your cutting test ?

[@Wolverine05]

This is where enso knives are made for cutlery and more correct?????

[@hrhamada1982]

Yes, the Enso are made by Yaxell. The HD series is very similar to a Yaxell Zen, and a Enso SG is similar to a Yaxell Gou. Fully professional level knives, but less expensive because it's a "house brand" like Nordstroms or Macy's do. It is less because the reatiler absorbs part of the markup so the customer builds customer loyalty

[@NordleM20]

thanks Ryky, great content. would love to see you visit a traditional knife sharpener, and to go head to head with them!!

[@perniciouspete4986]

4:12 I'm looking at the guy who sharpened at least one of my knives.

[@feartheiceman]

A cool thing would be a narrated video of the process.

[@robinkleine7299]

Im a big fan of the yaxell dragon fire series but i can never find one being shipped to germany :( I've messaged various sellers but they keep telling me they only ship to USA and Canada

[@7861blackthorn]

Maybe hocho knives?

[@deep-seeker]

I wish I can see how they forge these.

[@sam_ur_eye]

Amazing!

[@duweydang]

Phenomenal!

[@moronsaltable]

After all these years you learned to pronounce "Seki"

[@aleksandert1970]

Great !

[@zone559]

Who the white girl next to you ? Does she have an instagram?

[@minyuan86]
