These are the characteristics that make these knives so special:

The blade

It has a a hardness level of 60 HRC in the Rockwell scale, and that is in great part thanks to its Japanese VG10 steel core (1% of carbon content). This high level of hardness prevents you from having to sharpen the blade so frequently. The VG10 steel is highly appreciated in the culinary world because of its great durability and sharp edge retention.

Around the core, there are 67 layers of damask steel. The combination of different layers of steel around the core whilst alternating between hard and soft steel gives the blade an original look by creating unique patterns on its surface. The different layers also help the blade to have an optimal balance between hardness and flexibility.

The blade's look is embellished with an original hammered surface. In fact, each blade is hammered with a press, and this creates patterns on the surface that are unique to each single knife. In addition to the aesthetics benefits, the hammered surface also increases the blade's non-stick capacity, which allows you to make cleaner cuts.

Another remarkable detail of the blade's surface is that it has been polished to get a mirror-effect that ends up adding still more cachet to the knife's look. This comes with a double advantage because the polished surface not only plays an aesthetic role but it also increases the blade's resistance to corrosion because it flattens the surface thus making it less porous. 

Last but not least, the V-shaped edge allows you to penetrate food without major effort. The blade's final sharpening was made by hand using a leather band at a total angle of 30° (meaning 15° on each side). The result speaks for itself: an ultra sharp edge that penetrates food easily and with great precision!

The handle

From the tip to bottom, every Wusaki knife is a tool of high quality. That is why the handle is also an important part of each knife. It is made of olive wood that has been treated to have a surface that is soft to touch. This noble wood, which has a fruity scent, makes a beautiful contrast with the metal of the blade, and the veinings on its surface are unique on each knife.

The original shape of the handle that allows you to hold it comfortably and firmly.  As it is the case in all Wusaki kitchen knives, the handle is longer than the average so that it can be easier to manipulate. The final touch of elegance is found on the bottom of the handle where the Japanese character "Tiger" has been engraved by laser.

One final thing that makes each Wusaki Damas VG10 knife stand out from the rest is the packaging. Indeed, this knife set is sold in a black box with foam inside to protect that protect the knives from hits or strokes. The elegant look and design of the box make this set a great option to offer as a gift!

Care tips and advice: always wash them by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap. Then, wipe them with a soft cloth and store them in a dry place. You must also know that when you first receive the knives, the blades will be coated with protectio oil. This is normal, and all you need to do is to wash the blades before its first usage.

When washing the knives, try to avoid as much as possible to wet the handles, because the wood doesn’t like humidity. In fact, to protect and preserve the wood of the handles, we recommend you to wipe them from time to time with a cloth slightly soaked in olive oil.
