Sakin Damascus 10Cr Kiritsuke Knife 20cm

An elegant kiritsuke knife for precise cutting

The Wusaki Sakin 20cm kiritsuke knife is a versatile model that easily finds its place in everyday prep. Inspired by Japanese knives, it lets you slice, mince and cut vegetables, herbs, fish or boneless meats with precision. Its 20cm blade offers a good cutting length, while its angled tip brings extra precision for more meticulous work. Delivered in its case, it stores easily and stays well protected between uses.

A 20cm blade with a bold Japanese profile

With its slender shape and pronounced tip, the 20cm blade delivers clean, controlled cuts. The 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel provides an efficient cut, while the 60 HRC hardness helps keep a long-lasting edge. Its 67-layer Damascus structure gives the blade depth and creates a finely worked visual finish. This kiritsuke format lets you cut fluidly, whether for sweeping movements or more precise finishing touches.

A handle that focuses on comfort and character

The handle combines resin, carbon fiber and touches of gold leaf, a reference to the name Sakin, which means "gold dust". The random placement of the gold leaf makes every knife visually unique. The resin resists moisture well and the carbon fibers reinforce the overall structure of the handle. The stainless steel rivets, together with a central mosaic rivet, ensure a reliable fit and add a neat finish.

Wusaki style and the right care habits

Wusaki knives are produced by a small workshop, located north of Canton, in China's Guangdong province. This region has a long tradition in the making of knives and cutting tools. Production relies on well-controlled methods and a careful selection of materials.

Wusaki's expertise is governed by French manufacturing standards designed for professionals in the trade. This approach makes it possible to offer knives that are reliable, well assembled and suited to regular use. Every model aims for the right balance between cutting performance, comfort and durability.

To keep your Wusaki Sakin kiritsuke knife in good condition, favor hand-washing after each use. Clean it with a soft sponge, lukewarm water and a neutral soap, then dry it immediately with a clean cloth. Skip the dishwasher to preserve the Damascus blade, the handle and the quality of the edge over time.

The practical size for everyday use

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.
