This knife is indeed ideal for cutting and slices big pieces of meat and even fish. Its long and fine blade lets you penetrate the meat with ease and precision.

The blade is made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel coming from Germany. This professional steel stands out for its durability and because it is easy to sharpen it and also to clean it. 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 resistance to strokes and for the elasticity.

Reaching a hardness level of 56/58 HRC in the Rockwell scale, the blade can remains sharp for a good amount of time. To preserve its sharp edge, however, it is important that you maintain it by sharpening before the blade becomes dull. You can do that by using one of the Wusaki whetstones available here on site.

What makes this blade truly unique and original is without any doubt its hammered surface. In fact, each blade is hammered with a mechanical press that creates patterns that are unique on each single blade. This surely gives an original look to the knife, but the the hammered surface also serves to reduce the stickiness of the blade’s surface, which allows your to make cleaner cuts.

In addition, the blade has a V-shaped edge that was sharpened by hand with the use of a grinding leather band at a lateral angle of 15° (thus an accumulated angle of 30°). The result is a blade that penetrates the meat effortlessly and with precision. The first cut will be enough to make clear how good is this knife’s cutting performance.

Made of resin and laminated wood being compressed together by heat, pakkawood has veinings on its surface that create a remarkable resemblance with wood. Pakkawood is also known for its anti-bacterial properties and its resistance to the changes in temperature. It has been also varnished to add an extra layer of protection against humidity and stains.

To suit both left and right-handed cooks, the handle has been designed with a simple and ergonomic shape. The reddish, warm tones on the handle create the perfect contrast with the hammered steel of the blade. At the base (bottom) of the handle, there is an engraving of the Japanese character “Tiger.” The handles of Wusaki knives are a bit longer than the average so that you can enjoy a more comfortable grip.
