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

Although designed to easily cut bread and pastries with hard and soft crusts, you will find diverse uses for a serrated knife in the kitchen. With this knife, you can cut vegetables and fruits, especially those with skins like eggplant or tomatoes. It is also exceptional for cutting larger pieces of meat and roasts.

The blade core is made of ultra-hard SG2 powdered stainless steel, clad on each side with 80 layers of soft and hard stainless steel (161 layers in total). SG2 steel contains a high amount of carbon, allowing it to achieve a hardness of 63 Rockwell. Powdered steel is used because it ensures a high degree of purity and an exceptionally sharp cutting edge. The surface impresses with fascinating damascus patterns – 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 hand, and the handle's shape allows for tireless work with all cutting techniques. The combination of red and black colored canvas, a high-gloss polished handle, and the hand-engraved "Gou" mark at the bottom of the handle are the distinctive 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.
