Yaxell Super GOU chef's knife 20cm

The Yaxell Super Gou 20cm chef's knife is a high-end knife from Yaxell's Super Gou series, showcasing exceptional Japanese craftsmanship. At its core is premium SG2 micro-carbide stainless steel, hardened to an impressive 63 HRC and clad with 160 layers of Damascus steel. This blend of materials ensures outstanding sharpness, edge retention, and visual appeal.

The blade’s dual-sided flat grind (roughly 12° per side) creates an extremely thin and precise cutting edge that excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping. With a spine thickness of about 2 mm and a height of roughly 45 mm, the knife maintains a balanced feel and confident edge control.

The fully forged, full-tang design is paired with red-and-black canvas micarta scales, secured by three stainless rivets. A stainless steel bolster and engraved end-cap enhance durability and balance. Crafted in Seki City, this knife is built to last a lifetime and beyond.
