Wusaki Hikari SLD Kitchen Knives

A high-performance blade and a sturdy handle

Wusaki Hikari SLD knives feature a blade built around a core of SLD steel, a steel known for its high wear resistance and ability to maintain a sharp edge over time. With a hardness of approximately 63 HRC and a carbon content of about 1.6%, this steel delivers a precise cutting edge, particularly valued for detailed cutting tasks. The blade features a San Mai construction, a Japanese technique that involves surrounding the central steel core with softer protective layers. This design helps reinforce the blade while preserving its excellent cutting qualities. The handle is made of bubinga wood, a species prized for its density and durability. Its natural grain adds a warm touch, while its comfortable grip facilitates precise work. The balance between the blade and the handle contributes to the overall quality of these kitchen knives, designed to be a long-lasting companion for your culinary preparations.

This variety allows you to gradually build a cohesive kitchen collection tailored to your cooking habits. Thanks to their excellent cutting quality, thoughtful ergonomics, and durable design, these Wusaki knives make everyday meal preparation easier.
