The "Super Gou" series is a premium selection of knives, representing the hallmark and emblem of the Yaxell brand. The combination of unusual and unique Damascus patterns on high-quality steel and the beautiful handle design is the secret fusion that leads to the highest level of efficiency.

This little one, with its 12cm long blade, will be your favorite Petty knife in your collection. It fits exceptionally well in the hand and is especially suitable for peeling and paring vegetables. You can use it for less accessible areas and tasks such as deboning poultry or trimming sinews from steak.

The core of the blade is made from ultra-hard SG2 stainless powdered steel, wrapped in 80 layers on each side with soft and hard stainless steel (161 layers in total). SG2 steel contains a large amount of carbon, allowing it to reach a hardness of 63 Rockwell. Powdered steel is used because it provides a high degree of purity and an extremely sharp cutting edge. The surface impresses with its fascinating Damascus pattern design – a symbol of the highest quality knife.

The handle in this series is made from Micarta, one of the most durable materials for knife handles. Micarta is created by carefully layering fabric and resin, which, after drying, acquire ideal characteristics for this purpose. Unlike other materials, a Micarta handle does not change over time and is odorless. Perfectly secured with three stainless steel rivets, it provides an extreme sense of comfort in the hand, and the handle's shape allows for tireless work in all cutting techniques. The combination of red and black colored fabric, the high-gloss polished handle, and the hand-engraved "Gou" mark at the bottom of the handle are the protective features of this series.

After use, wash the knife by hand with lukewarm water and dry it.
Store the knife in a safe place where it will not collide with other utensils.
