Description

The premium Yaxell Super Gou Ypsilon 4pc Knife Set features an SG2 powdered stainless steel core covered with multiple layers of stainless steel, creating an exquisite collection of 193-layer knives. This multi-layered steel construction ensures that the knives are extremely hard and sharp. Each knife is forged and hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen with unsurpassed sword-making expertise. A special tempering process also creates a hardened blade with a rating of 63 in the Rockwell hardness test, which gives the knives long-lasting sharpness. The knives are also beautifully crafted, from the stunning Damascus pattern on the blades to the water-resistant micarta handles embellished with a chrysanthemum crest. Yaxell Super Gou Ypsilon knives are created with materials and techniques of the highest standards to deliver superior performance.
