Yaxell Super Gou Ypsilon 16.5cm Santoku Knife for Professional Chefs – High-Performance Cooking

Introducing the Yaxell Super Gou Ypsilon Santoku Knife – Precision Crafted for Culinary Excellence

The Santoku knife is renowned for its “three virtues” – precision chopping, dicing, and mincing – making it an essential tool for creating beautifully sliced ingredients that elevate dish presentation. The Yaxell Super Gou Ypsilon, an upgraded evolution of their iconic Super Gou 161 model, takes this versatility further with cutting-edge craftsmanship and performance designed for both professional chefs and passionate home cooks.

Crafted from SG2 Micro-Carbide stainless steel, this 16.5cm blade boasts a hardness of 63 Rockwell, ensuring exceptional sharpness retention while resisting corrosion thanks to its unique heat-treatment process. The 193-layer Damascus pattern not only adds striking aesthetics but also enhances durability by reducing chipping risks during intense use. Its wide heel transitions smoothly into a rounded tip, offering balanced control whether slicing delicate herbs or sturdy vegetables.

Paired with an ergonomic black micarta handle, engraved with a samurai family crest emblematic of Japanese heritage, this knife delivers unmatched comfort during prolonged use. A sleek Katana-style sheath is included for safe storage and display of this culinary masterpiece.

As a family-owned brand since 1932 based in Seki City – Japan’s historic knife-making hub – Yaxell combines centuries-old traditions with modern innovation. Each blade undergoes rigorous hand-forging processes at extreme temperatures before being ice-hardened twice to guarantee unmatched strength and longevity. Recognized globally by top chefs and award-winning kitchens, these knives are exclusive through Divertimenti’s expertise in premium Japanese cutlery.

Maintain peak performance by hand-washing after use and sharpening regularly with a Yaxell-approved sharpener. Perfectly suited for precise cuts that enhance both taste and visual appeal on your plate – this Super Gou Ypsilon Santoku is more than a tool; it’s an investment in culinary artistry built to last generations.*
