Yaxell Gou 230 mm Bread Knife, Art. 37008

The Yaxell Gou 230 mm bread knife (Art. 37008) is a Japanese kitchen knife for educational and healthcare institution kitchens that bake and slice bread and pastries for large numbers of people every day. The blade is forged from Yaxell Gou series damascus steel (101 layers) based on SG2 steel, with a blade hardness of 63 on the Rockwell scale.

The blade length is 230 mm and the overall knife length is 360 mm, with a 15° edge angle. The black canvas micarta handle provides a confident grip even during extended use. As a dedicated bread knife, it allows clean slicing of bakery products with varying crust and crumb structure without crushing the loaf.

Specifications

Caring for Japanese steel blades means hand-washing without prolonged soaking, drying immediately and storing in a dry place away from other kitchenware — this prevents corrosion and preserves the look of the damascus pattern. Slicing on a wooden or plastic board rather than a ceramic or glass surface extends the interval between sharpenings. For education and healthcare facility kitchens, this knife supports a dedicated bread-cutting station in line with sanitary requirements and can be referenced in technical documentation for tender purchasing.
