Details of the kitchen knives in the case

Blade :

The knives in this case feature a blade with a core of 10Cr steel : this alloy is composed of 1% carbon, giving it an excellent hardness of around 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Such a core ensures a long-lasting sharp edge, and avoids repeated sharpening.

The core is then surrounded by 67 layers of damascus. Damascus is a unique process in which different layers of steel (hard and soft) are superimposed around the blade core. The hard steel reinforces the knife's solidity, while the soft steel gives it a slight suppleness (making it less brittle).

Beyond its technical advantages, damascus creates unique waves on each blade. The steel undulates over the cutting surface, creating a unique effect.

The upper part of the blade has been press-hammered, creating unique hollows on each blade. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, hammering develops the knife's non-stick properties (like a honeycomb knife).

The left-hand side of the blade is laser-engraved with the brand name and range, for even greater authenticity.

Sharpening :

The cutting edge has been worked into a V shape for excellent penetration of food (this shape, combined with quality sharpening, cuts rather than breaks the internal fibers of food).

Final sharpening is done by hand, on a strip of leather at a cumulative angle of 30° (15° on each side). The result is formidable: you'll feel it right from your first cut.

Finally, the blade has a mirror-polished finish. It's beautiful, and this makes it more resistant to corrosion (because polishing flattens the surface of the steel and makes it less porous).

Handle:

The handle is a very important element in the composition of the Wusaki Damascus knife. It is made from olive wood, which has been sanded and treated to give it a pleasantly soft feel. This precious wood, with its distinctive scent, contrasts perfectly with the cold appearance of the steel. Its veins are unique on each knife: prestige guaranteed! It has been cut into an original shape, like a sickle, to be very comfortable in the hand and to sit naturally in the palm. In this way, the thumb and forefinger maintain a firm grip during use, for firm control of the knife. Finally, Wusaki handles are a little longer than the current cutlery market average, for easy handling by larger hands!

Each handle is unique! Colors, patterns and grain can vary according to the parts of the wood used to make the handles. For example, some parts are darker than others, depending on the knots in the wood. This is perfectly normal.

The base engraved with the Japanese character"Tiger" gives the knife a perfect finish. Its sandblasted appearance contrasts with the smooth surface of the steel. The three red edgings add an undeniable touch of elegance to the knife.

Design:

The Wusaki Damascus knife is a creative gem: the combination of materials and colors makes it an exceptional piece of cutting equipment. At once simple and slightly sophisticated, it will appeal to the most fastidious of cooks!

Knife care and storage

To care for your knives, we recommend gentle hand-washing in lukewarm water, using a mild soap. You can then wipe each knife with a soft cloth and store them in a dry place.

When washing, try to keep the handles as dry as possible, as wood doesn't like to get wet. From time to time, you can also wipe them with a soft cloth soaked in olive oil, to add shine and protection.

Please note: when you receive your knives, the blade is lightly coated with protective oil. Simply wash before 1st use to remove.

The Damascus Olive range is incompatible with magnet bars due to the depth of the hammering and the weight of the knives. Instead, store your knives in a block or briefcase!

Origins :

Wusaki knives are manufactured by a small company located north of the city of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province in Western China. This province is historically renowned for its knife-making expertise. Wusaki expertise is entirely governed by French manufacturing standards established for professionals in the sector.

The case :

It is made of black polyester, strong and durable. It's thick enough to guarantee tenfold security for your accessories, but still light enough to avoid back pain.

It has 9 slots, each 13cm long, into which you can insert the handles of your knives or utensils. These slots are closed by a small elastic band. Wide and long, you can easily slide knives, marys, spatulas and other utensils into them, with the assurance that nothing will move. A top Velcro fastening secures longer knives and utensils.

Once the Velcro is in place, you can fold down the polyester flap for maximum protection. It's completely covered, so you're not in direct contact with the blades when you open the case. The flap is ingeniously designed, with 2 additional storage pockets integrated into its structure. You can insert, for example, an apron, a phone charger, a small notebook... It's very practical for additional items! The case rolls up on itself, so you save a lot of space!

Open dimensions: (H) 48 x (W) 60 cm
