Santoku from Yaxell in the Super Gou collection is a Japanese knife model that resembles a classic chef's knife but has a shorter blade and rounded tip. The knife is ideal for slicing, dicing and chopping for professionals and beginners.. Yaxell Super Gou is an exclusive series of knives with blades consisting of 161 layers of damascus steel. The core is made of Japanese powder steel SG2, known for its high carbon content and hardness, which makes the edge extremely sharp. 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.
