Sakin Damascus 10Cr Santoku Knife 17cm

Precision and fluidity every day

The Wusaki Sakin santoku knife makes quick cutting easy: it's ideal for vegetables, herbs and boneless meats. Its 17cm blade offers a good balance between precision and efficiency. Its Damascus look and gold-toned handle quickly catch the eye. It also comes in a handy case for storage or gift-giving.

A precise, eye-catching blade

The 17cm blade offers a good balance between maneuverability and efficiency, which makes it ideal for repeated cuts and fast slicing of vegetables. Its 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel core ensures a long-lasting edge, while the chromium improves its resistance to corrosion. Its hardness close to 60 HRC also helps keep a good edge. Its 67-layer Damascus structure reinforces the blade and protects the central core, while creating beautiful wavy patterns on the surface. The flat grind eases entry into food and allows a clean, smooth, comfortable cut for both right- and left-handers.

A handle that's pleasant to hold and good to look at

The handle is made of resin with carbon fiber and nuggets of gold leaf, a nod to the name Sakin, which means "gold dust". The resin resists moisture and offers a smooth surface that's pleasant to hold, while the carbon fibers reinforce the structure of the handle. The golden flakes give each piece a unique look, while the Western shape and bevelled base ensure a natural grip and good control. The handle is fixed with two stainless steel rivets and a brass mosaic rivet, with a stainless steel bolster that improves the knife's balance.

Give your knife the best care

Wusaki Sakin knives are produced north of Canton, in China's Guangdong province. This region is recognized for its expertise in knives and cutting tools. Manufacturing relies on controlled processes and carefully selected materials.

Wusaki's design follows French standards established for professionals. This rigor results in knives that are reliable, well finished and suited to regular use. Every model seeks the right balance between cutting performance, comfort and durability.

To keep your Wusaki kitchen knife in top condition, hand-wash it only, using a soft sponge and a neutral soap. Dry the blade carefully once you're done, to avoid any lingering moisture.

A real asset in your cutting toolkit

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.
