The **Yaxell Super Gou santoku 16.5 cm** is a traditional Japanese kitchen knife with a special blade. The santoku is the Japanese version of the chef's knife. The small blade is perfect for chopping vegetables, meat, fish, onion, garlic and, of course, different types of herbs.

## Yaxell Super Gou blade: 161 layers of Damascus steel

Yaxell Super Gou kitchen knives are made from 161 layers of Damascus steel. Bit of a strange number? Not really! This is because each side of the blade has 80 layers of stainless Damascus steel, Between these layers is a core of rock-hard SG2 powdered steel. This combination makes the knives razor-sharp, stainless and dazzlingly beautiful. 

The Damascus steel is made from two stainless steels that are forged together in layers. These two types of steel have a different carbon content, which causes the steel to change colour differently as soon as they etch the steel. Etching is producing a pattern in the steel with the help of an acid. Stainless steel, whether Damascus or not, isn't usually the hardest type of steel. That's why a SG2 powdered steel core was added. The result is a rock-solid edge with a hardness of 63 HRC! The name of the collection is hand-engraved on the side of the blade and on the back of the handle. 

## Yaxell Super Gou handle

The round shapes and the three rivets make this handle look very similar to that of a European kitchen knife. Not only is this comfortable, but it also makes the handle very sturdy and durable. The handle is made from black and red micarta. Micarta is a material comprised of linen impregnated with an epoxy resin. This makes it a very strong material. It can withstand virtually anything, and has great water resistance. Micarta is known for offering plenty of grip. Even if it's wet. The oval and round shape of the handle offers good grip and is comfortable to hold.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

Way of sharpening

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
