The compact knife that quickly finds its place in the kitchen
The Sakin Wusaki paring knife is the perfect companion for precise everyday gestures. Whether you're peeling a fruit, removing a damaged part, chiseling a small ingredient or finely slicing a foodstuff right in your hand, its compact size makes it ideal for all those detailed jobs.
With its 9cm blade, it slips in where a larger knife becomes less practical. It can be used for both quick preparations and meticulous finishing, with a lively, natural grip. Its well-crafted aesthetic also brings a real visual presence, between the damask blade and the handle adorned with gold inclusions. Presented in a storage box, it's easy to keep and also makes a great gift idea.
A short handle with an instantly recognizable style
The handle is made of resin injected with carbon fiber and gold-leaf nuggets. The word Sakin, meaning "gold dust", refers directly to the luminous sparkles visible in the material.
The resin forms a soft-touch, stable surface, suitable for frequent use in the kitchen. It protects the decorative inclusions while offering a pleasant touch for short, repeated gestures.
Carbon fibers help to hold it all together, while nuggets of gold leaf give the handle a strong visual identity. Each piece has a slightly different appearance.
The Western shape of the bevelled base makes for an intuitive grip. On a paring knife, this is particularly appreciated, as it allows you to maintain control when making fine cuts or working close to the hand.
Two stainless steel rivets and a central brass mosaic rivet secure the inserts. The stainless steel bolster ensures a clean junction with the blade, while the stainless steel base contributes to the overall balance.
A small blade designed for precision gestures
The blade measures 9cm, an ideal size for tasks requiring finesse and maneuverability. It is perfectly suited to peeling, peeling, turning certain vegetables, removing imperfections or making delicate cuts on small foods.
Its core is made of 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel, an alloy containing around 1.05% carbon. This composition provides a high-performance, long-lasting cutting edge, while retaining good corrosion resistance for regular use.
The blade achieves a hardness of around 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. As a result, it retains its cutting quality over time, while remaining easy to maintain with a suitable stone.
The core is surrounded by a 67-layer damascus structure. This lends strength to the overall structure and creates a particularly elegant wave pattern on the blade surface.
The blade's flat cutting edge ensures a straightforward entry into food. On a paring knife, this translates into clean, precise, easy-to-control movements, whether on a board or in direct contact.
A few tips for your high-performance knife
Wash your Wusaki damascus blade knife by hand only, using a non-abrasive sponge and mild soap. Do not use a dishwasher to preserve the materials. After cleaning, dry the blade immediately to limit traces of moisture. Preferably use a wooden or synthetic board to preserve the edge.
As soon as the cut loses its sharpness, you can maintain the cutting edge with a suitable stone. Finally, store your knife in its case, in a block or on a magnetic bar to avoid unnecessary contact with other utensils.
