This knife shape is typically Japanese, and its pointed blade resembles the traditional swords once carried. Much like a chef's knife, the kiritsuke knife is just as versatile and lets you cut a variety of foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn ultra-sharp blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade of the \u003cstrong\u003eUnagi knife\u003c\/strong\u003e is damascened: the core is made of \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese AUS10 steel\u003c\/strong\u003e with a carbon concentration of 1.05%. The cutting edge is therefore stiffer and holds up better. The hardness reaches 60 HRC, making this alloy easy to sharpen with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/whetstones-c15\"\u003ewhetstone\u003c\/a\u003e. This core is then wrapped in several layers of nickel-enriched steel, creating a slight contrast that highlights the different layers. The damascus balances the hardness of the core, adds a certain suppleness to the blade and brings a unique aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA handsome wooden handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak forms the \u003cstrong\u003ehandle\u003c\/strong\u003e, a durable, sturdy wood species valued in cutlery. Oak resists moisture, shock and vibration. It stays light and easy to handle for comfortable use even over time. And thanks to its octagonal shape, it suits ambidextrous use! Finally, the handle is lacquered in black, which darkens the oak's natural shade for a result with more character. A binder has been injected between the handle and the blade, making the whole thing watertight and hygienic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn authentic Japanese design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe damascus pattern on the \u003cstrong\u003eWusaki Unagi AUS10 knife\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of a kind. The layers follow one another in a circular shape, as though a droplet had landed on the cutting surface and spread out into small ripples. This finish makes every piece unique. Finally, the logo has been engraved in the form of fine, discreet kanji for even more 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\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/1141\/1030\/files\/KIRITSUKE_2024CM_dfad1ad7-b2af-4e88-bdf7-f0e24557fedb.png\" alt=\"Couteau kiritsuke japonais artisanal 24cm Unagi AUS10\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe new companion for all your cutting\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Couteaux du Chef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978960798038,"sku":"HLWWUS-SHI-8420","price":249.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/1141\/1030\/files\/134353.jpg?v=1788871398","url":"https:\/\/www.wusaki.com\/en\/products\/unagi-aus10-handcrafted-japanese-kiritsuke-knife-24cm-p192","provider":"Wusaki","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
