The peeling knife from the Yaxell brand in the Super Gou series is perfect for peeling fruit and vegetables as well as other precision work. It can be used in the air, for example when peeling onions, or against the cutting board to cut smaller ingredients. Yaxell Super Gou is an exclusive knife series with a blade of 161 layers of damascus steel and 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, with a hardness of 63 HRC. The handle is made of red-black 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 a kitchen environment. The handle is attached with three strong steel rivets and has a stainless button at the end to ensure perfect balance.
