Discover in this page the entire range of the Wusaki Damas VG10 knives, which is the major knife series of Wusaki! This series has the most demanded types of kitchen knives by cooks: paring knife, slicing knife, chef knife, etc... Impossible to not love cooking with such knives that are as beautiful as they are efficient! Each single detail of a Damas VG10 knife was carefully thought, studied, and chosen to guarantee the creation of true masterpiece of modern cutlery. For starters, the blade has a Japanese VG10 steel core, a type of steel highly appreciated in Japanese cutlery due to its carbon content (up to 1%, whereas most European knives only reach 0.5%). The high carbon content enhances the hardness of the blade (around 60HRC), which can be sharpened with a more acute angle to obtain a razor sharp edge. The carbon content also helps to maintain the sharpness for longer time, and thus reducing the frequency of sharpening sessions.

The core is surrounded with 67 layers of damask steel; in other words, overlapping layers of mild and hard steel that protect the hard core. This ancient technique provides the knife with the perfect balance between hardness and flexibility (to avoid having blades that break easily). The layers overlap each otheron the lower part of the blade. The superior part has a hammered surface, and the hammered finish is different in every single knife!

Last but not least, the handle is made of olive wood, which has been treated to be more resistant. This is a noble type of wood that has a fruity and pleasant scent. The grip is also special as the smooth surface and the orignal shape fit perfectly in the palm of the hand. The veinings of the wood are never the same, and that adds more cachet to each knife in this series.

Do not give it a second thought and choose to equip your kitchen with Wusaki knives; extraordinary kitchen knives made with the best materials that ensure a great look and perfect cuts!

Discover our entire collection of Wusaki Pakka X50 knives! The kitchen knives from the Wusaki Pakka X50 series are made with materials of high quality and durability. The blade of each of these knives is made of German stainles steel with composition X50CrMoV15, which is commonly known as "Solingen Steel." This type of steel has a 15% of chromium content that enhances the blade's resistance to corrosion. This type of steel is highly appreciated in the cutlery industry, because it is durable and easy to sharpen thanks to its hardness level of 56/58 HRC in the Rockwell scale. Moreover, the steel is also enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, which are two elements that improve the solidity of the blade. Each Wusaki Pakka X50 knife is characterised for a remarkable cutting peformance that enables you to make precise and clean cuts on your foods, and you can eaily maintain the blade's sharpness with a Wusaki whetstone. Probably the most original characteristic of the blade is its hammered finish, which is different on every single knife! The hammered surface of the blade gives the knife an original, aesthetic, and elegant touch.

All Wusaki Pakka X50 knives are sharpened by hand using a moving, leather band at an angle of 15° on each side of the blade. The accumulated sharpening angle is thus of 30°. This is why the blade can penetrate your foods with great ease and precision. You'll be able to feel its great cutting performance since the very first cut! In addition, the blade also has a shiny, polished finish that accomplishes a double function: 1) it enhances the knife's look, and 2) it strengthens the blade's corrosion resistance. 

The handle is made of Pakkawood, which is an ultra resistant material that is composed of compressed of wood and resin put together via a heat treatment. The final result is extremely similar to wood thanks to the original veinings on the surface. The Pakkawood has the advantage of being resistant to humidity, bacteria, and fluctuations in temperature. Its dark colour with reddish tones makes perfect contrast with the steel of the blade. The steel bottom of the handle is engraved with a Japanese character that represents the Tiger. 

The range of Wusaki Pakka X50 knives offers the main types of knives that you expect to find in a kitchen: a paring knife, a carving knife, a chef knife...

Regardless of which you one you need, one thing is certain: you'll get a knife truly one of a kind! Every little detail on every Fujiko VG10 knife has been designed to guarantee an excellent quality and a stunning look.

First of all, the blade of each knife has a Japanese VG10 steel core. This type of high-end steel is highly appreciated by both Western and Japanese cooks thanks to its high carbon content, which is of 1% whereas in most kitchen knives is only 0.5%. Such level of carbon allows the blade to have great hardness (around 60 HRC). Another advantage of this steel is that it can withstand a deeper sharpening, and thus you can get a truly razor sharp edge. Last but not least, the carbon in the steel helps the blade to remain sharp for longer time, so you won't need to sharpen it so frequently.

The core of the blade is then covered by 67 layers of damascus steel. In other words, the blade has 67 overlapping layers of soft and hard steel that protect the hard core. This renowned Japanese technique of blade construction gives the knife an optimal balance between hardness and flexibility to avoid having a blade that is too brittle. The different damascus layers are what give the blade its original patterns that are visible on its surface.

Last but not least, the handle of these knives is made of olive wood, which has been sanded and treated to be more resistant. Olive wood is a natural material with a fruity smell that is quite pleasant. Its smooth surface is also highly appreciated as it lets you hold your knives in all comfort. The straight shape of the handle fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, and the bolster has been carefully designed so that you can enjoy an easier grip that lets you have more control over each of your cuts. Moreover, the veinings of the wood are unique to each single handle, thus making each knife a truly unique piece.

Discover the kitchen knives from Wusaki Kanjo AS collection! These knives are entirely made in Japan from A to Z. From the forging of the steel to the final sharpening of the blade, these knives are created by artisans with an expertised that comes from the know-how of old blacksmiths of traditional Katana swords. The blade of every Wusaki Kanjo AS knife has a San Mai construction, which means that it is made of 3 overlapping steel layers. The core of the blade is made of Blue Super Steel from the Hitachi steelworks. This steel has a special composition enriched with a high carbon percentage of 1.5%. Such high level of carbon makes the blade ultra hard (around 65 HRC in the Rockwell scale), which allows a highly acute sharpening that helps the blade to keep a sharp edge for quite a long time. Hence, this knife does not need to be honed so often to remain sharp. This is indeed a high-end steel that is highly appreciated in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The core is surrounded by a layer of soft stainless steel to protect it from corrosion. This layer also makes the blade less rigid, and thus less fragile against strokes. The demarcation of the different steel layers is visible on the blade's surface near the cutting edge.

Each of the knives of this range is sharpened by hand with a whetstone using a very acute angle. This is why the penetration of the blade into the foods is precise and does not tear up the internal fibres of the food.

Moreover, the upper part of the blade's surface is hammered, and the dimples created by the hammering are different on every knife. This means that there no two knives that exactly the same.

The handle is made of hard honoki wood (magnolia), which has been polished to ensure a pleasant grip. The shape of the handle is octagonal, and it adapts perfectly to all cooks. The handle is completed by a black bolster that makes an elegant link with the blade.

Equip your kitchen with the Wusaki Ebony VG10 knives and be witness of their exceptional quality. They'll help you with your daily food cuts throughout several years.

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.

The Wusaki nogami BS2's blade is made of Japanese steel, called the Blue Steel n°2. It is a high-end steel with many advantages. For instance, its carbon content is way above average, reaching a hardness level of 62/63 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This high rockwell hardness number allows the blade to hold its edge longer while being easy to re-sharpen when you feel the need to do so. A blade with a high hardness can get re-sharpened more extensively. Thus, you can enjoy a razor-sharp edge to cut with greater ease at first use.

The central core of the blade is surrounded by a folded stainless steel layer. This layer is used as a "protection jacket" for the core more prone to rust. This 3-layer construction has a name: the San-Maï structure. We can also see that the knife has raw finish on the top of the blade called the "Nashiji finish".

It is important to remind that a high-carbon steel knife needs extra care to keep it in top shape. It should be washed by hand immediately after use and dried with a towel.
