The Yaxell Super GOU Ypsilon Japanese Damascus Utility Knife 120mm is a versatile mid-sized knife for produce, sandwiches and preparation that sits between a paring knife and chef's knife.

Key Features

  • 120 mm blade sized for fruit, vegetables, sandwiches and small proteins
  • 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 when a paring knife is too short but a chef's knife feels excessive. The slim straight edge gives accurate slices and easy tip control. Its shorter format leans toward detailed produce and bench-side 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

This is the useful middle ground for quick prep, sandwiches and smaller produce. It should complement a chef's knife and paring knife rather than duplicate either one.

Product Guide

Use this for compact slicing tasks where a chef's knife is cumbersome: fruit, sandwiches, small vegetables and portioning. Choose a serrated version for resistant skins and a plain edge for clean precision cuts.

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 intermediate scale gives more reach than a paring knife without the bulk of a full chef's knife, making it useful for quick prep and bench-side service tasks. 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.
