Cooking made a pleasure

The Wusaki Pakka X50 knives bring together some of the finest materials found in both Japanese and Western cutlery. They let you handle real quality every day and feel completely at ease with every cut, without giving up on style. An investment that pays for itself quickly.

The case contains:
- 1 paring knife 9cm
- 1 utility knife 12cm
- 1 santoku knife 17cm
- 1 carving knife 20cm
- 1 chef's knife 20cm

Intuitive to use

Each blade is made from a professional German stainless steel. This is X50CrMoV15, with a Rockwell hardness of 56/58 HRC, a steel widely used by German knife-makers. It keeps its edge for a long time while still being easy to maintain whenever needed. Ground into a V-shape on an abrasive leather strop, the cutting edge is sharpened at a 30° angle: penetration into food is clean, precise and effortless.

Premium materials working for your performance

The blade steel is enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, and carries a chromium content of 15%. The result is knives that resist both corrosion and impact, which matters a great deal in a kitchen setting. Every blade is a safe bet, all the more so since they're hammered in a unique pattern to boost their non-stick properties. The handles of the knives in this case are made of Pakkawood, a composite material that stands up well to changes in temperature, bacteria and humidity.

A design all its own

The mix of materials and colors makes the Wusaki Pakka X50 knives both original and elegant. Just one glance at the blades' distinctive hammering and the warm tones of the handles is enough to see it. There's no compromise with Wusaki: every piece is worth a closer look.

Wusaki knives come out of a small workshop just north of Canton, capital of China's Guangdong province in the west of the country. That region has long been known for its skill in steel knife-making. Good relations between France and China let us find a serious, human-scale partner, much like our own team. Every step of Wusaki's craft follows the French manufacturing standards set for professionals in the trade. We are proud to have built reliable, beautifully finished tools at a genuinely fair price for our customers.

A case well worth it for carrying your gear

It is made from black polyester: sturdy, lightweight and durable.

It has 9 slots, 13cm long, for the handles of your knives or utensils. Each slot is closed with a small elastic band to hold everything in place. A Velcro strap across the top locks down the longest knives and utensils.

A polyester flap folds over the top for maximum protection of your equipment. It's fully covered, so opening the case never puts your fingers right up against the blades. This flap was cleverly designed with 2 extra storage pockets built into it. You can slip in, say, an apron, a phone charger, a small notebook... The case rolls up on itself.

Size when open: 48 cm (H) x 60 cm (W)

Size when closed: 12 cm (H) x 48.5 cm (W)

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.
