Wusaki Fujiko Black San Mai 2-Knife Set

Wusaki Fujiko Black San Mai 2-Knife Set

These are the two most frequently used knives in the kitchen: the chef's knife, with its 20cm blade efficient for slicing, finely chopping, or cutting all kinds of food and the 9cm paring knife, designed for precision tasks like cutting small fruits and vegetables.
They complement each other perfectly.

It features a smooth San Mai stainless steel blade. The knife is constructed with a central core of hard 10Cr15CoMov stainless steel; its high carbon content reaching 1.05% ensures an exceptionally sharp edge.
However, because the steel is hard, it is prone to cracking if subjected to repeated impacts.
To address this, a layer of softer steel has been added to each side of the core to provide flexibility. The flat grind allows for precise cutting. This design results in a razor-sharp, durable cutting edge supported by a structure that offers remarkable resilience during use.
Symmetrical blade with a 15° grind per side (30° total).

The handle is made of Pakkawood; its high density makes it moisture-resistant. This composite material is created by heat-compressing wood veneers with resin. It requires no special maintenance simply hand washing. The handle is finished with a stainless steel bolster and end cap the latter featuring the Japanese kanji for "Tiger"as well as a mosaic rivet and two red accent rings.
