The chef's knife in the Super Gou series from Yaxell is an indispensable piece of kitchen equipment, perfect for cutting, chopping and dicing most ingredients. The weight of the blade makes it easier to work with large pieces of meat and root vegetables. Yaxell Super Gou is an exclusive knife series. The blades consist of 161 layers of damascus steel with a core of Japanese powder steel SG2. This steel has a high carbon content and is very hard, which allows the edge to be ground extremely sharp. The powder steel is surrounded by 80 layers of rust-resistant steel on each side of the edge. The red-black handle is made of micarta, a material produced by combining linen cloth and special plastic under high pressure. This provides a hard, water-resistant and hygienic material, perfect for kitchen environments. The handle is attached with three strong steel rivets and has a stainless button at the end to ensure perfect balance.
