The santoku knife from the Wusaki Damas V10 series is as beautiful as it is efficient. This extraordinary knife gives you all the advantages of using a high quality kitchen knife that is ergonomic, durable, and has a great design. Characterised for its originality and elegance, the astonishing look of this knife proves the existence love at first sight.
With a Japanese VG10 steel core and polished by hand until it acquires a sharp edge, the blade of this santoku knife remains sharp 2 to 3 times longer than a knife made with European steel. The V-shaped manual sharpening that is done on all our knives with the use of a grinding band ensures perfect cuts since the very first usage!
This DAMAS VG10 santoku knife has a Japanese steel blade with a hardness level of 60 HRC and VG10 steel core with 1% carbon content. This type of high quality steel is much harder than the one that is found in the best Western kitchen knives. We have chosen this steel because its excellent characteristics and its remarkable durability have no comparison!
The blade of this santoku knife has 67 layers of damask steel (unique to each single knife), and a hammered surface on the top part of the blade. The handle, being as important as the blade, is made of noble olive wood. This material is characterised for its veinings, its astonishing design, and a comfortable grip. Finally, the Japanese character engraved at the bottom of the handle provides that final touch of originality that makes your knife truly special.
Wusaki knives are made in a small factory located in the north of Canton; the capital city of the Guangdong province in Western China. This province is historically known for its know-how in the production of steel knives. The good relations between France and China allowed us to find a serious partner with a human-size structure like ours. The expertise of Wusaki is entirely governed by the French manufacturing standards established by the professionals in the field. We are proud to have succeeded in the creation of a reliable work tool with a superb design and at a great price for our customers.
Wash by hand and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid to wet the handle as much as possible, even when washing the knife. Once in a while, you can wipe the handle with a cloth slightly soaked in olive oil to protect the wood.
