The Wusaki Hikari SLD 16cm handcrafted Japanese nakiri knife embodies the perfect balance between Japanese tradition and modern performance!
Forged in Japan using artisanal techniques, it is specially designed to facilitate precise and comfortable vegetable preparation. Its classic nakiri shape, with a tall, rectangular blade, makes it easy to make clean, quick cuts on the cutting board. This kitchen knife offers a pleasant experience from the very first use thanks to its perfect balance and intuitive grip.
The 16-cm blade features a San Mai structure, composed of three layers of steel. The core is made of SLD steel enriched with 1.6% carbon, an alloy known for its ability to achieve a sharp, long-lasting edge. This high carbon content promotes excellent cutting performance while providing good wear resistance.
SLD is a semi-stainless steel valued for its strength and stability. It offers a good balance between cutting performance and ease of maintenance. Combined with a hardness of approximately 63 HRC, it maintains an effective edge over time while remaining easy to sharpen with a suitable whetstone.
The San Mai structure protects the hard core with softer outer layers, which improves the blade’s overall strength.The flat grind optimizes penetration into food and ensures clean cuts, making it particularly well-suited for vegetables. The wide blade also makes it easier to transfer food after cutting.
The handle is crafted from bubinga wood, an exotic hardwood known for its density and natural resistance to moisture. Its warm hue, ranging from reddish-brown to deep brown, adds an authentic and elegant touch to the knife. Each handle features natural variations, making every piece unique.
Its octagonal shape ensures a comfortable and stable grip. It allows for proper finger placement and precise control during cutting. This ambidextrous design is suitable for both right- and left-handed users, offering intuitive use from the very first time you pick it up.
The meticulous construction ensures a seamless transition between the blade and the handle, which enhances comfort and overall durability. The balance between the blade and the handle promotes natural movements and reduces fatigue during extended use.
Wash your Japanese knife by hand with a soft sponge and regular soap. Dry it immediately after washing to preserve the quality ofthe SLD steel and the bubinga wood handle. Use a wooden or synthetic cutting board to protect the blade. Avoid hard surfaces. To maintain optimal cutting performance, sharpen the knife regularly with a whetstone. Store your knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a sheath to protect the blade.
