The Yaxell Zen Damascus VG-10 Japanese Bread Knife 230mm is a long serrated specialist for cleanly cutting crusts and delicate interiors without compressing them.

Key Features

  • 230 mm blade sized for crusty loaves, soft bread and filled sandwiches
  • Serrated / wavy 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 clean structure matters. A long serrated edge reaches through a loaf with fewer strokes than a short utility knife and preserves delicate crumb far better than forcing a straight edge. The generous working length completes most slices with fewer strokes without becoming unwieldy. 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

Let the serrations do the work with long, light strokes. Serrated edges need maintenance less often than plain edges, but they should be professionally sharpened rather than forced through a pull-through sharpener.

Product Guide

Use long, light sawing strokes from heel to tip and avoid pressing down on the loaf. The same technique works well for cakes, pastries and tough-skinned produce with soft interiors.

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

A sawing action lets the edge work through resistant surfaces while placing less downward pressure on soft crumb, pastry or ripe produce. 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

  • Crusty loaves, soft bread and filled sandwiches
