The 21-cmWusaki Hikari SLD gyuto knife embodies the perfect blend of Japanese tradition and modern performance!
Handcrafted in Japan, it features a thin, well-balanced blade designed to handle all your everyday cutting tasks. Its design draws on techniques from Japanese cutlery-making, combined with a high-performance steel renowned for its durability.
The 21-cm blade features a San Mai construction, consisting of three layers of steel. This construction protects the central core while providing greater flexibility to the entire blade. The core is made of SLD steel, an alloy containing approximately 1.6% carbon, known for its cutting performance and wear resistance.
With a hardness of approximately63 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade maintains its effectiveness over time. This hardness ensures a clean cut, ideal for precise everyday tasks.SLD steel also offers better abrasion resistance than conventional carbon steel, which reduces the frequency of sharpening.
The blade also features a flat grind, ideal for smooth penetration through food. This geometry enhances precision and promotes even cuts without snagging. The finish is understated, highlighting the authenticity of Japanese forging.
The handle is made of bubinga wood, a dense hardwood prized for its strength and distinctive grain. Its warm hue adds an elegant touch while ensuring good resistance to moisture when properly maintained.
Its octagonal shape provides a natural and stable grip. This design allows for precise finger placement, suitable for both right- and left-handed users. It facilitates control over the stroke, particularly during long or technical cuts.
The balance between the blade and the handle has been carefully designed to ensure optimal comfort during use. This allows for smooth, fluid work while minimizing fatigue during extended preparation sessions.
Use a wooden or synthetic cutting board to preserve the cutting edge. Avoid hard surfaces that can damage the blade. Wash your knife by hand with a soft sponge and dry it immediately after washing. To maintain optimal sharpness, sharpen the knife regularly with a whetstone. The bubinga handle can be treated with a suitable oil to preserve its appearance.
Wusaki’s Hikari SLD line features Japanese knives designed to offer an excellent balance between performance and affordability. Made in Japan, these knives benefit from artisanal craftsmanship rooted in regions renowned for their cutlery traditions. Artisans combine time-honored forging techniques with modern steels like SLD to create blades suited to today’s demands. This approach results in reliable knives designed for regular use, while retaining an authentic Japanese identity.
