Wusaki Fujiko Black 10CR San Mai Paring Knife 9cm

The small precision knife!

The Wusaki Fujiko Black 10Cr paring knife is the ideal companion to the chef's knife. With its small, slim 9cm blade, it handles cutting smaller items: small vegetables, fruit, small pieces of meat or fish, or aromatic herbs. It's versatile and allows for precise, meticulous cuts!

"San Mai" for an even sharper edge

The knife has a blade known as "San Mai", a reference to its distinctive construction. This manufacturing process, which originated in Japan, uses a rigid steel core wrapped on each side by a layer of softer steel. This core is made of 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, an alloy that's especially hard thanks to its high carbon content (1.05%). This hardness translates into a sharp edge and exemplary performance. The two layers of softer steel clamping the core in place also act as a shield against knocks and impacts.

Style and comfort combined in a handle

Your handling comfort is ensured by a carefully crafted handle. It's made from Pakkawood, a composite material combining laminated wood and resin under hot compression. This pakka wood is waterproof and extremely sturdy. On top of its ergonomic shape, the handle boasts lovely finishing touches: a base engraved with the Japanese kanji for "Tiger", two red edgings, a mosaic rivet and a stainless steel bolster.

Design and performance at an accessible price

This small Fujiko Black 10Cr paring knife brings together premium materials and painstaking craftsmanship. Its Japanese-influenced style and sharp edge make it a truly precious tool.

Fujiko 10Cr knives are designed in Guangdong province, in western China. This province has long been favored for its expertise in the cutlery trade. France and China have maintained cordial relations for many years, which made it easier for us to establish a presence there through a small company very similar to our own. Every step of manufacturing is the result of Wusaki's expertise, and is also governed by production standards set by French professionals. We're delighted to offer you this versatile, design-driven kitchen knife at an accessible price.

Cooking with quality knives at accessible prices

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.
