Empty Magnetic Knife Block for 9 Kitchen Knives
Discover the Wusaki Pakka X50 knives, available right here on this page! The Wusaki Pakka X50 kitchen knives are made using quality, durable and high-performing materials, with impeccable finishes. For instance, the blade of each of these knives is made from German stainless steel with an X50CrMoV15 composition, also known as "Solingen steel". It's a professional-grade steel, with a 15% chromium content to boost corrosion resistance tenfold. It's valued in the cutlery world for how well it holds up over time, and its good compromise between hardness and ease of sharpening (thanks to its 56/58 HRC hardness). The blade has also been enriched with molybdenum and vanadium to improve the alloy's grain structure. The blade of the Wusaki Pakka X50 knife thus offers a pronounced edge that ensures clean, precise cuts, while staying easy to maintain with a Wusaki whetstone. It also has the advantage of good elasticity, to avoid being brittle in use. The blade's standout feature lies in its hammering, which is different on every knife! You can see the light dimples created by the press on the upper part of the cutting surface. The result is original, aesthetic and elegant.
The sharpening carried out on the Wusaki Pakka X50 knife is done by hand, on a moving leather strop, at a 15° angle on each side of the blade. The combined angle is therefore 30°. Sharp, it allows for an easy, clean penetration of food. Ingredients aren't damaged. This high-performing edge is noticeable from the very first use!
The blade also benefits from a bright polished finish, which as well as being highly attractive, giving the steel beautiful reflections, also helps develop corrosion resistance. Indeed, this marked polishing flattens the steel, making it less porous.
The handle is made from Pakkawood, a highly resistant composite material made of compressed wood strips and resin, all assembled together under heat. The final result closely resembles wood thanks to its unique grain! Pakkawood has the advantage of being resistant to temperature changes, humidity and bacteria. Varnished, it's even better protected against outside wear. Its dark color, in shades of red, contrasts perfectly with the blade's steel. The butt is engraved with the Japanese character representing the Tiger, for an impeccable finish! The Wusaki Pakka X50 knives come in the main models you'd expect to find in a kitchen: paring knife, carving knife, chef's knife...You can equip yourself at the best price and feel completely at ease no matter the complexity of your cuts. Each knife comes in a beautiful black gift box that protects it. So choose quality for everyday use with this line of knives that is as high-performing as it is good-looking!
