Yaxell Gou 120 mm Kitchen Knife, Art. 37002

The Yaxell 37002 kitchen knife from the GOU series is a compact tool with a Damascus blade designed for precision kitchen tasks — peeling and cutting vegetables and fruit, removing seeds, and portioning small ingredients. The blade is made of 101 layers of steel around an SG2 steel core, a Japanese powder steel used in knives where long-lasting edge sharpness under frequent use matters.

The blade length is 120 mm and the overall length is 255 mm — a compact size convenient for one-handed work on small tasks. The 15° sharpening angle forms a thin cutting edge typical of Japanese knives. The black handle is made of canvas micarta, a moisture-resistant composite material that provides a stable grip even in the humid conditions of a kitchen.

Specifications

This knife complements the main set of cooking tools in a kitchen where, alongside larger knives for cutting meat or vegetables, a compact tool is needed for precise small tasks — peeling, trimming and portioning ingredients for meals prepared according to an educational or healthcare facility's menu. Care follows the standard routine for Damascus steel: hand washing without abrasives and drying the blade immediately after use.
