Wusaki Fujiko 10CR Damascus Chef's Knife 20cm

The ultimate all-purpose kitchen knife

The Wusaki Fujiko 10Cr chef's knife is the most versatile blade you'll find in the kitchen. Ideal for preparing meat, fish, vegetables, fruit or aromatic herbs, it lends itself to a wide range of cuts. With it, you can chop, slice, mince or dice your food without ever switching knives. It quickly becomes your go-to everyday tool.

A damascus blade with unique performance

The blade benefits from damascus work, which is what gives it both its efficiency and its unique design. A hard core is wrapped in several layers of soft steel to form a blade that's razor-sharp and shock-resistant. The alloy at the heart of the blade is 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, which reaches 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. It resists corrosion remarkably well and keeps its performance over time, so sharpening is rarely needed.

A handle with meticulous finishing

The handle offers a wonderfully comfortable grip thanks to its rounded shape. It showcases olive wood, a sturdy species easily recognized by its warm tone. Just as remarkable, the wood's grain differs on every knife, since wood is a living material. A pretty mosaic rivet decorates the center of the handle, while two red edgings add an elegant contrast with the wood. A stainless steel bolster and base also add extra cachet to the knife. The finishing touch sits on the base, engraved with a kanji spelling out the Japanese word "Tiger"!

A superb design from passionate makers

The combination of different materials and colors gives the Wusaki Fujiko 10Cr chef's knife a striking contrast. The quality of the wood, the steel and the various finishes make it an exemplary piece in every respect.

Fujiko 10Cr knives are crafted in Guangdong, a province in western China. This region is recognized as the country's historic center of cutlery. The trusted relationship between France and China helped us team up with a small, human-scale workshop, much like our own. Every step of manufacturing draws on Wusaki's full expertise and follows French-established production standards. We take pride in having created a high-performing piece, beautifully finished and offered at an affordable price for our customers.

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.

Pairing performance with elegance in the kitchen

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.
