Below we explain you more in detail the main characteristics that make these knives so special:

Sharp blades

The great cutting performance of these knives is explained by their blades made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel from Germany. Thanks to its 15% of chromium content, the steel has great resistance to corrosion. The 0.5% of carbon content is what provides the hardness, and the molybdenum and vanadium help for the elasticity and for the resistance to strokes.

With a hardness level of 56/58 HRC in the Rockwell scale, the blades can remain sharp for a good amount of time. However, to prevent them from becoming blunt, it is important to hone them in a regular basis, and this can be done by using one of the Wusaki whetstones available here on MyChefKnives.co.uk.

Each blade has been hammered with a mechanical press that creates original patterns on the blade's surface. The hammered finish is unique in each single knife. Beyond the beauty of the hammered surface, this characteistic is also useful to reduce the stickiness of the blade's surface, which allows your to make cleaner cuts.

All the blades of Wusaki Pakka X50 knives have V-shaped edges that are sharpened by hand with the use of a grinding leather band at a lateral angle of 15° (thus an accumulated angle of 30°). This explains why these knives can penetrate foods so easily and effortlessly. 

Elegant handles

Resistant and elegant, the handles are made of pakkawood, which is a material made of resin and laminated wood compressed together by heat. The veinings of this material create a remarkable resemblance with wood. Pakkawood is also known for its anti-bacterial properties and its resistance to the changes in temperature. Its surface has been varnished to add an extra layer of protection against humidity and stains.

The ergonomic design of the handles is suitable for both left and right-handed cooks. They are also a bit longer than the average so that you can hold them better.The reddish, warm tones on the handle create the perfect contrast with the steel of the blade. Finally, at the base (bottom) of the handle, the Japanese character "Tiger" is engraved by laser. 

Care tips

These knive must always be washed by hand using lukewarm water and a mild soap. Before storing them in a safe place, we advise you to dry them using a soft cloth. You must know that when you receive your knives, the blades will be coated with protection oil. To get rid of it, all you need to do is to wash the blade before its first usage.
