Wusaki Fujiko 10CR Damascus Santoku Knife 18cm

A versatile knife for every recipe

The Fujiko 10Cr santoku knife handles a wide range of cuts, much like its European counterpart, the chef's knife. Great for cutting fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and aromatic herbs, this santoku has the distinctive feature of granton edges running the full length of the blade. These stop food from sticking as you cut, giving you a noticeably more comfortable cutting experience.

An exemplary damascus knife

The blade is the result of damascus work that gives it both efficiency and a look that's sure to win you over. How is a damascus blade made? To achieve this, manufacturers take a piece of very hard steel and wrap it in several layers of softer alloy. This blend of steels gives the blade a razor-sharp, long-lasting edge, on top of making it more shock-resistant. At the heart of the blade is 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, whose hardness reaches 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. This high-grade stainless steel ensures a long-lasting edge that needs little sharpening, along with excellent resistance to corrosion.

A comfortable, distinguished handle

The handle, for its part, ensures a comfortable grip for the user. With its rounded shape, it's crafted from lovely olive wood full of warm colors and grain. As a living material, the wood offers a unique grain on every knife. A beautiful mosaic rivet sits in the middle of the handle, while two red edgings contrast with the wood. A stainless steel bolster links it to the blade, while the base is decorated with the Japanese kanji for "Tiger".

The choice of elegance and rooted know-how

The combination of materials and colors gives this Wusaki Fujiko 10Cr santoku knife real character. The tones of the wood, the satin finish of the blade and its overall performance make it an ideal tool for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Fujiko 10Cr knives are made in Guangdong province, in the southwest of western China. This land is considered the country's historic center of cutlery. The positive relationship between France and China made it easier for us to work with a small, human-scale workshop, much like our own company. Every design step draws on Wusaki's full expertise and follows production standards set by French professionals. We're delighted to offer you this versatile, design-driven kitchen knife at an accessible price.

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.
