The bread knife from Yaxell in the Super Gou series is characterized by its long blade with a serrated edge, which makes it easy to cut all types of bread. The serrated edge is also ideal for high acid ingredients, as acid affects a straight edge more than a serrated one. Yaxell Super Gou is an exclusive series of knives with blades that consist of 161 layers of damascus steel. The core is made of Japanese powder steel SG2, known for its high carbon content and hardness, which provides an extremely sharp edge. The powder steel is surrounded by 80 layers of rust-resistant steel on each side of the edge. The handle is made of red-black micarta, a material produced by joining 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.
