10Cr damascened blades for high-performance cutting
The knives in the Wusaki Damas 10Cr range feature damascened blades, a design in which a rigid steel core is surrounded by several layers of softer steel. This technique allows us to benefit from the strength of hard steel, while providing a degree of flexibility thanks to the softer steel layers. The result is a blade that remains strong while offering a good compromise of flexibility to take small impacts without the risk of breaking.
The blade core is made from 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, a robust alloy with a carbon content of 1.05% and a chromium content of 15%. The carbon adds rigidity to the cutting edge, while the chromium improves corrosion resistance. This core is then surrounded by 67 layers of damascus, giving the blade a unique look and a finish that varies from knife to knife.
A 10Cr15CoMoV steel core and 67 damascus layers
The damascus process used for the Wusaki Damas 10Cr range creates unique waves visible on each blade, due to the superimposition of different steel layers. This finish adds not only an important aesthetic dimension, but also excellent cutting performance. The 10Cr15CoMoV steel of the core, coupled with the 67 layers of stainless steel, ensures sufficient rigidity to maintain a highly durable cutting edge while retaining a certain flexibility that avoids the risk of breakage.
The upper part of the blade has been hammered, which helps to improve the blade's non-stick properties, limiting the adhesion of food during cutting. Beyond its aesthetic aspect, this hammering is also very practical for improving the fluidity of cuts.

A hammered finish for more grip and character
The hammering of the blade surface creates an attractive contrast with the visible damascus on the cutting surface. This treatment also contributes to the knife's functionality, enhancing its non-stick properties. The patterns created by hammering are unique to each knife, adding a distinctive and elegant look to each piece.
The cutting edge is worked in a V-shape, ensuring effective penetration into food, facilitating cutting without breaking the internal fibers of the products. The sharpening work, carried out by hand on a strip of leather, ensures an extremely precise cut and a long-lasting edge.
Unique, ergonomic olive wood handles
The handles of Wusaki Damascus 10Cr knives are made from olive wood, a dense, elegant wood highly appreciated for its strength and resistance to humidity. Olive wood is also known for its antibacterial properties, making it particularly suitable for use in the kitchen.
Each handle is unique, with different veins and natural patterns on each model. The wood is carefully sanded and treated for a soft, pleasant feel. The shape of the handle, slightly curved like a sickle, provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip, perfect for firm control of the knife.
The handle is attached to the blade by three rivets, including a central mosaic rivet that adds a touch of originality to the knife. A base engraved with the Japanese character "Tiger" gives the knife an extra finish, with a sandblasted contrast to the polished steel.
A high-quality knife for careful storage
The Wusaki Damascus 10Cr knife comes in a top-of-the-range box that protects it from knocks and allows it to be stored elegantly. This case is ideal for giving the knife as a gift or for safe storage. The knife should be hand-washed with a sponge and mild detergent, avoiding wetting the olive wood handle. After each wash, wipe immediately with a soft cloth and store in a dry place.
Please note that the knives in this range are incompatible with magnet bars due to the depth of hammering and the weight of the blades. We recommend storing them in a block or case to ensure their durability.
