Find here all the kitchen knives from the Wusaki Nakata BS2 series. In this knife range you can find different knife models for taking care of all your food cuts. For example, there is a chef knife, a santoku knife, a nakiri knife... You just need to choose the knife that best adapts to your recipes. The blade of a Wusaki Nakata BS2 knife is made of the Japanese steel known as Super Steel n°2. This high-end steel is highly enriched with carbon, which allows it to reach a hardness of 62-63 HRC in the Rockwell scale. This very high level of hardness enables the blade to keep a sharp edge for long time, whilst remaining easy to hone whenever needed. Another advantage of having a blade with such hardness is that it can endure a deeper sharpening at a highly acute angle, which guarantees a razor sharp edge that penetrates into your foods with extreme ease.

The core of the blade is surrounded by a layer of stainless steel. This layer protects the core, as every steel with a high carbon content is highly sensitive to corrosion. This steel construction composed of a hard core wrapped by a stainless steel layer is known as San Mai. Despite the external stainless steel layer, a blade with a core that has such high content of carbon must not be treated as a standard stainless steel blade. It must be washed by hand, and it must be dried immediately with a soft cloth to avoid any trace of humidity.

Another important part of these knives is the handle. It is made of walnut wood, which is a material characterised for its resistance to heat and humidity. The veinings on the wooden surface are unique and different on every single knife. The round shape of the handle adapts to all cooks, and its polished surface ensures a soft touch and a comfortable grip. The bolster between the walnut wood handle and the carbon steel blade is made of pakkawood, which is a composite material that is resistant to changes in temperature. Its colour matches perfectly with the colour of the walnut wood.
