Damas Olive 10Cr Nakiri Knife 17cm

A high-quality cutting sensation

The Wusaki Damascus 10Cr Nakiri knife is as good-looking as it is capable. It brings together every advantage you want from a great kitchen knife: performance, ergonomics, durability and style. Its brushed design catches the eye instantly, thanks to its originality, its elegance and its excellent finish.

Long-lasting sharpness

Made from 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel and hand-polished to a razor-sharp finish, our Nakiri knife holds its edge 2 to 3 times longer than a European steel blade. Every one of our knives gets a manual V-shaped sharpening on a leather strop, for a perfect cut from the very first use!

Competition-grade technical specifications

The DAMASCUS 10Cr Nakiri knife has a steel blade with a hardness of 60 HRC and a 10Cr steel core (1.05% carbon). This high-grade steel is far harder than most premium Western knives. We chose this steel for its outstanding properties and unmatched longevity.

A truly incomparable design

The blade of the DAMASCUS 10Cr Nakiri knife is made up of 67 layers of Damascus, unique to every knife, along with hammering across the entire upper part of the blade. The noble olive wood handle matters just as much as the blade itself: unique grain, a stunning design and guaranteed comfort.
Finally, the Japanese character engraved on the butt of the handle adds a further touch of prestige and a truly original style to your knife.

Every Wusaki knife comes out of a small workshop just north of Canton, capital of China's Guangdong province in the west of the country. That region has long been known for its skill in steel knife-making. Good relations between France and China let us find a serious, human-scale partner, much like our own team. Every step of Wusaki's craft follows the French manufacturing standards set for professionals in the trade. We are proud to have built a reliable, beautifully finished tool at a genuinely fair price for our customers.

Every handle is unique: colors, grain and pattern shift with the section of wood each one is cut from. Some areas come out darker than others — often because of a knot in the wood. That's entirely normal, not a flaw.

Wash by hand, then dry with a soft cloth. Never let the handle get too wet, even when washing it. You can occasionally wipe the handle with a cloth soaked in olive oil to help protect the wood.

Because of how deep the hammering runs and how heavy the knives are, the Damascus 10Cr olive wood range cannot be used with magnetic strips. We recommend storing them in a knife block or a case instead.

A masterstroke in modern cutlery

Use

• Cut with a straight, linear motion. Twisting motions damage the cutting edge and can break the blade.
• Use a wooden cutting board. Glass or marble dull the cutting edge over time.

Cleaning

• Wash by hand with a soft sponge and mild soap, then rinse with lukewarm water. Abrasive surfaces are not suitable for the steel.
• Oil the blade from time to time with a neutral mineral oil to protect it.

Sharpening

• Don't wait until the blade is completely dull: regular maintenance on a 1000-grit whetstone keeps an excellent cutting edge without removing too much material.
• Match the whetstone's grit to the condition of the blade — coarse grit to restore a very dull edge, fine grit to polish.
