This core is then wrapped in several layers of nickel-enriched steel, which highlight the different layers by creating a slight contrast. With a hardness of 60 HRC, this alloy has a rigid cutting edge with better long-term retention while staying easy to sharpen. The end result is a damascened blade: decorative, while also offsetting the core's hardness, since it lends the blade a touch of suppleness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA pleasant handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of \u003cstrong\u003eoak wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, this species is especially valued in cutlery for its durability. This wood is also sturdy and particularly resistant to moisture, shock and vibration. The handle is light and very easy to handle, ensuring an ideal grip. What's more, it suits both left- and right-handed users. The handle has a black lacquer finish that darkens the natural shade of the oak. Finally, a binder has been injected between the handle and the blade to fill the gap and make the whole thing watertight and hygienic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA piece born of Japanese craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eWusaki Unagi AUS10 knife\u003c\/strong\u003e has a one-of-a-kind damascus pattern! The different layers form a circle, as though a droplet had struck the blade, spreading into small ripples across the steel. Blade and handle together make for an original, elegant piece. Finally, the logo is finely engraved on the cutting surface, for a strong sense of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWash your knife by hand, taking care not to run too much water over the handle, then use a soft cloth to dry it before storing it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/1141\/1030\/files\/KIRITSUKE_2021CM_51d270dc-9f83-4cfe-b7f3-81ea1991f658.png\" alt=\"Couteau kiritsuke japonais 21cm Unagi AUS10\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChoose a unique, high-performance knife\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Couteaux du Chef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978960535894,"sku":"HLWWUS-SHI-8419","price":219.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/1141\/1030\/files\/134350.jpg?v=1788871396","url":"https:\/\/www.wusaki.com\/en\/products\/unagi-aus10-handcrafted-japanese-kiritsuke-knife-21cm-p188","provider":"Wusaki","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
