Yaxell Gou japanese slicing knife 18 cm

The japanese series Gou of Yaxell has an exceptional edge and a fascinating Damascus 101 layers

Slicing knife - Blade 18 cm

The blade owes its cutting edge to its high quality composition: Japanese SG2 Micro Carbide powder stainless steel, which is enveloped by 50 layers on one side with soft and hard stainless steel. This powdered steel contains a lot of carbon and has an unprecedented hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell.
The resulting blade is extremely hard, ensuring an exceptionally sharp cutting edge.

The surface impresses with a fascinating Damascus design pattern - a symbol of the highest quality knife and its signature, GOU 101 layers.

The handle is made out of black Canvas-Micarta,  brilliantly finished.
The inner handle is a solid forged 18-10 stainless ingot that has been welded onto the multi-layered steel blade. The welded junction is invisible, and as strong as the material itself.
The trade mark ‘GOU’ is engraved on the grip end in a noble style.
