Discover the complete range of Wusaki Ebony AUS8 kitchen knives! This series offers knives suitable for all cooks and for all types of food ingredients: paring knife, bread knife, chef knife, santou knife, etc... These knives are as good as they are beautiful. To be more specific, the blade of each of these kitchen knives is made of Japanese AUS8 steel, which is an alloy highly appreciated in the culinary world for several reasons. For example, this type of steel is enriched with carbon and tunsgten, and those two elements make the blade attain a hardness of 59 HRC in the Rockwell scale. This level of hardness represents an optimal balance between an edge that is easy to sharpen and an edge that remains sharp for long time. Therefore, your knife will remain sharp despite using it repeteadly, and it will also be easy to hone again whenever you need it. Moreover, the Japanese AUS8 steel has a consirable amount of chromium in it, which makes it resistant to corrosion.

For an impeccable finish, the blade of every Wusaki Ebony AUS8 knife is hammered with a press. This creates dimples on the upper surface of the blade, which not only adds cachet to the knife's look but also enhances the blade's anti-adherent capacity (as it is the case for a scalloped knife). 

The edge of the blade is sharpened by hand on a leather grinding band using an angle of 30°, which is perfect to guarantee an optimal penetration into your foods.

As for the handle, it is made of ebony wood; a noble and robust material that feels pleasant in the hand. Its varnished surface is resistant to humidity and stains, which allows you to use the knife in professional kitchens. The bottom end of the handle is made of steel. You can see two red bands that separate the wood from the steel parts, which add a touch of elegance to the overall look of the knife. Finally, the oval shape of the handle adapts perfectly to both right and left handed cooks.

So do not hesitate to opt for the Wusaki Ebony AUS8 knives and enjoy the quality of truly durable, beautiful, and reliable kitchen knives!
