The Wusaki Sakin Damascus 10Cr Chinese chef's knife is designed to offer great versatility in the kitchen, while retaining excellent gesture control. Its high blade allows you to work efficiently on a wide variety of foods, from vegetables to boneless meats and fresh herbs.
With its generous cutting surface, this Chinese chef's knife favors fast, fluid sequences. Its height also facilitates the transfer of food after cutting, directly from the board to a container. This format favors flat work, with a direct, stable and controlled movement, particularly suited to everyday use.
The 19cm blade of this Chinese chef's knife is approximately 6.5cm high, offering excellent stability when cutting. This geometry makes it possible to work on large volumes while maintaining good control, particularly during repeated or rapid cutting.
The core of the blade is made of 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, enriched with approximately 1.05% carbon. This composition produces a fine, homogeneous structure, favoring a precise, even cutting edge. It also ensures good resistance to oxidation, suitable for frequent use in the kitchen.
With a hardness of around 60 HRC, the blade effectively retains its cutting qualities over time, while remaining easy to maintain. This level of hardness maintains a high-performance edge without making the steel too hard to sharpen.
The damascus structure rests on 67 layers of steel, reinforcing the blade while providing slight cutting flexibility. This assembly improves the blade's overall strength and helps diffuse stresses during use. It also generates the wavy patterns visible on the surface, typical of damascus.
The flat cutting edge ensures clean penetration of food, limiting resistance when cutting. The kiritsuke-type tip gives this Chinese chef's knife greater precision for fine cuts and finishing.
The handle of this Chinese chef's knife is made of resin, with carbon fibers and gold-leaf inclusions. This composition ensures a stable, moisture-resistant structure suitable for regular use.
The resin protects the integrated elements while providing a smooth, pleasant surface in the hand. Carbon fibers reinforce the overall rigidity, while metal inclusions create a unique visual effect, with natural variations from one knife to the next.
Its Western shape with bevelled tip ensures a fluid grip and good control during prolonged cutting. Two stainless steel rivets and a central mosaic rivet ensure strength and durability.
The stainless steel bolster reinforces the junction between blade and handle, while the steel base contributes to the knife's overall balance.
To preserve the performance of your Chinese chef's knife, we recommend washing it by hand with a soft sponge and conventional soap. Avoid the dishwasher and prolonged immersion.
Dry the blade immediately after washing to limit any traces of moisture. Use a wooden or synthetic board to preserve the cutting edge.
This Chinese chef's knife is particularly suited to a flat cutting motion, without excessive rocking. To maintain its performance, stone sharpening is recommended as soon as the cutting edge loses its effectiveness.
Store your knife in its case, on a magnetic bar or in a suitable holder to protect the blade and guarantee its longevity.
