Description

The Wusaki Hikari SLD 13cm utility knife embodies Japanese craftsmanship with its meticulous, handcrafted construction!

Designed for everyday cutting tasks, it offers excellent maneuverability thanks to its compact blade. This versatile design is suitable for a wide range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats. Forged in Japan, it features precise assembly and materials selected for their superior performance.

A high-performance steel blade

The 13-cm blade features a San Mai construction, a traditional Japanese technique involving the layering of three layers of steel. The core is made of SLD steel, enriched with approximately 1.6% carbon, giving it a hardness of about 63 HRC on the Rockwell scale.

This high hardness ensures a long-lasting, precise edge while maintaining good wear resistance.SLD steel is known for its balance between cutting performance and ease of maintenance, with better resistance to oxidation than some conventional carbon steels.

The softer outer layers protect the rigid core and provide the blade with greater flexibility. This combination reduces the risk of breakage during everyday use.

The flat grind ensures smooth penetration into food and guarantees a clean cut, ideal for precise slicing. This type of grind also makes it easier to maintain the edge over time.

An ergonomic and durable handle

The handle is crafted from bubinga wood, a dense exotic hardwood prized for its strength and natural resistance to moisture. Its distinctive grain and warm tones give your kitchen knife an authentic and elegant look.

Its octagonal shape provides a comfortable grip, suitable for both right- and left-handed users. This design promotes good control while cutting, even during precise movements.

Bubinga also offers excellent long-term stability, minimizing warping caused by changes in humidity. Combined with the Japanese blade, it creates a well-balanced knife that’s a pleasure to use every day.
