Collection: Fujiko Black 10Cr Knives

Come discover the Wusaki Fujiko Black 10Cr knife range! This series of knives with a San Mai blade lets you equip yourself with top-quality equipment at accessible prices. The blades of Fujiko Black 10Cr knives benefit from a specific manufacturing process called "San Mai". This Japanese term, which translates as "3 layers", should give you a hint. A San Mai knife is a knife that, first of all, has a hard steel core at its center. Here, 10Cr15CoMov stainless steel was chosen, mainly for its high carbon concentration, which reaches 1.05%. Such a high carbon content gives the blade increased cutting performance. Indeed, it becomes more rigid and develops a more pronounced edge.

However, the harder a steel is, the more prone it is to breaking when faced with impacts. That's why manufacturers added a layer of softer steel on each side of the hard core. This core is sandwiched by a less rigid alloy that adds flexibility to the blade. Here, "flexibility" should be understood as the blade's ability not to break under stress such as knocks or flexing. This way, the blade benefits from a razor-sharp, long-lasting cutting edge, surrounded by a structure that lets it hold up remarkably well over repeated use.

The handles, on the other hand, are made of Pakka wood. Resistant to humidity thanks to its high density, Pakkawood is a composite material obtained by heat-compressing wood strips and resin. Unlike natural wood, which needs regular upkeep, Pakka requires no special care beyond a simple hand wash. The handle is finished with a stainless steel bolster and butt cap. The latter is decorated with the Japanese kanji for "Tiger", beautifully engraved. Also adorned with a mosaic pin and two red trim lines, the handle likewise helps turn these kitchen knives into true works of art for everyday use!
