The Wusaki Damas VG10 Bread Knife is more than a just a knife: it’s a piece of art. This beautiful knife is perfect for slicing all types of bread in an easy and precise way. Its remarkable cutting performance is undeniable, and its gorgeous design will definitely dazzle you. From the tip of the blade to the bottom of the handle, this knife a true masterpiece of cutlery!

As part of the Damas VG10 series from Wusaki, this bread knife is designed to meet the needs and expectations of both professional and domestic cooks. Since the moment you open the box, you will realize that this is a truly special knife. Let us explain you in the following paragraphs why this knife is such a big deal.

Its blade has a Japanese VG10 steel core with 1% of carbon content that allows the blade to reach a hardness level of 60 HRC in the Rockwell scale. The hardness of the blade allows its edge to remain sharp for long time. This is why the VG10 steel is appreciated by cooks not only from Japan but from around the world.

On top of the VG10 steel core, the blade also has 67 layers of soft and hard steel creating what is known as a damascus blade. The combination of different layers of steel create unique patterns on the blade’s surface, which give an original look to your knife. The damascus method also helps the blade to have an optimal balance between hardness and flexibility.

Another astonishing characteristic of the blade is its hammered surface. It has been hammered with a press to create patterns on the surface that are unique to each single knife. However, hammering the blade’s surface not only enhances its look but it also increases the blade’s non-stick capacity.

The surface of the blade has also been polished to give it an elegant mirror-effect. Besides improving the blade’s aesthetics, the polished surface also plays a role in increasing the blade’s resistance to corrosion. This is explained by the fact that the polishing flattens the surface thus making it less porous. 

One last thing to mention about the blade is that its final sharpening was done manually using a leather band at a total angle of 30° (meaning 15° on each side). The V-shaped edge enables clean and precise cuts on your foods. In terms of sharpness, this knife is truly one of a kind! 

Until here we have talked only about the blade, but the handle is also an important part of this 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 shiny metal of the blade. The veinings on the handle are never the same, so each knife is truly unique!

Thanks to the ergonomic shape of the handle, your thumb and your forefinger are able to keep a firm position during your cuts, thus enabling you to have full control of the knife. The handle is also longer than the average so that it can be easier to manipulate and grasp. Finally, the bottom of the handle has the Japanese character “Tiger” engraved on it by laser, which is the perfect final touch for a truly elegant and rustic handle.

Last but not least, the packaging of this Wusaki Damas VG10 knife also deserves a special mention. The box has also been carefully designed to meet the highest expectations. In fact, this knife is sold in a black box with foam inside to protect the knife. The elegance of the box makes it a great option to offer as a gift!

Wash and care tips: wash it by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap. Then, wipe it with a soft cloth and store it in a dry place. When you first receive the knife, the blade will be coated with protection oil. To get rid of it you simply need to wash the blade before its first usage.
