The Yaxell Super GOU Japanese Damascus Chef's Knife 150mm - 6 is an all-purpose board knife for chopping, slicing and dicing meat, vegetables and herbs.

Key Features

  • 150 mm blade sized for daily vegetable, herb and protein preparation
  • Fine straight edge
  • 193-layer Damascus construction
  • SG2 micro-carbide powdered-steel core hardened to 63 HRC
  • Black canvas Micarta handle; wooden sheath supplied on individual knives
  • Made in Seki, Japan

Why Choose This Product

Choose this as the knife that will perform most daily preparation. It offers more board clearance and cutting reach than a utility knife while remaining considerably more agile than a cleaver. Its compact format favours manoeuvrability, smaller boards and precise tip work. Within the Super Gou Ypsilon range, this model stands out for Yaxell's statement range, delivering exceptional edge retention, elaborate Damascus work and presentation-level finishing.
Simply Hospitality Notes

Choose blade size by board space and prep volume, not by prestige. A comfortable pinch grip and enough knuckle clearance matter more in daily use than simply buying the longest blade.

Product Guide

Use a pinch grip at the heel of the blade and work on a stable board. Rock through herbs and rounded vegetables, or use controlled forward slices for proteins; do not scrape the sharp edge sideways across the board.

Brand Guide

About Yaxell: Yaxell has produced kitchen knives in Seki, Japan since 1932, combining the region's blade-making heritage with modern stainless and powdered steels. Its ranges progress from practical three-layer knives to highly layered VG10 and SG2 Damascus collections, giving customers meaningful choices in edge retention, finish, handle and investment level.

Product Details

Its broad blade provides knuckle clearance and supports both rocking and straight slicing, making it the natural centrepiece of a working knife kit. The Super Gou Ypsilon specification pairs 193-layer Damascus construction and black canvas Micarta handle; wooden sheath supplied on individual knives to shape balance, durability and maintenance in daily use.

Best Suited To

  • Daily vegetable, herb and protein preparation
