Product description
This is a combined listing for a matching pair of Yaxell Super Gou Damascus kitchen knives - a 240mm Gyuto and a 255mm Sujihiki/Carver
The gyuoto 24cm long, made of 161 layers of Damascus steel and an SG2 micro-carbide steel core with a hardness of HRC63. The Micarta handle is nicely weighted to give the knife a lovely balance in the hand.
The gyuto's dimensions are:
Overall length 390mm
Blade height 47mm
Spine thickness 2.5mm
Handle length 125mm
Weight 255g
This Sujihiki is 25.5cm long, made of 161 layers of Damascus steel and an SG2 micro-carbide steel core with a hardness of HRC63. The Micarta handle is nicely weighted to give the knife a lovely balance in the hand.
The Sujihiki's dimensions are:
Overall length 390mm
Blade height 32mm
Spine thickness 2mm
Handle length 125mm
Weight 200g
Not to be confused with the 23cm slicing knife currently available, this is the now discontinued 25.5cm Sujihiki slicer with an extra 2.5cm length for even smoother cuts.
The knives are in excellent condition, with no obvious nicks or chips on the blades and only ever sharpened gently on a fine grit stone or honed on a ceramic rod. The steel is stainless and therefore resistant to rust, but I take care of my knives therefore it has always been hand washed and immediately dried straight after it has been used. It has always been stored securely in a knife block to prevent damage.
The Super Gou range is the top of the range model made by Yaxell and is sold in very limited quantities so it is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of.
Unfortunately I don't have the original boxes but the knives will be very safely and securely packaged for shipping.
These knives are also listed separately, however I have added this combined listing for anyone wishing to purchase both knives at a discounted price. More photos can be found in the individual listings.
