Manufactured in Japan by Tsunehisa Cutlery, the Wusaki Yaketa VG10 utility knife combines a high-performance damask blade with a distinctive charred oak handle. It’s suitable for a wide range of everyday tasks: cutting fruit and vegetables, chopping herbs, slicing cuts of meat, or preparing small fish.
The 15-cm blade is constructed around a core of Japanese VG10 steel, containing approximately 1% carbon. This composition results in a rigid and precise blade, ideal for the fine cuts of everyday use. With a hardness of 60 HRC, the cutting edge retains a sharp edge over time.
The Damascus structure is created by combining the central VG10 core with several layers of steel arranged around it. It forms a wavy pattern visible on the sides of the blade and contributes to the overall balance of the construction.
The blade also offers good resistance to corrosion and wear, provided that care instructions are followed. Its hammered upper surface creates a uniform texture, which can help prevent food from sticking during cutting.
The handle is made of charred oak, a wood chosen for its sturdiness and resistance to moisture. This treatment creates a unique contrast between the lighter and darker areas of the wood.
Oak feels warm in the hand and withstands repeated use effectively.
The octagonal shape gives the handle a stable and comfortable grip. This Japanese design is suitable for both right- and left-handed users and promotes precise control of the blade while cutting.
Wash this knife by hand after each use, using a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Avoid the dishwasher, prolonged soaking, and abrasive detergents.
Immediately dry the blade and the charred oak handle with a clean cloth. Never store the knife while it is wet. A magnetic strip, a suitable knife block, or a blade guard will help preserve the edge and minimize contact with other utensils.
Use it on a wooden cutting board or one made of a soft material.
Tsunehisa is a Japanese cutlery brand that offers knives made in Japan, featuring various combinations of steels, blade shapes, and handles. Particular attention is paid to the materials used, the damascene patterns, and the finishes, which give each series its own unique identity.
