Yaxell Super Gou Ypsilon 4pc Knife Set

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.
