Wakui, Wakui, Wakui. One of our many favourites. The Wakui knife will not disappoint. Its always hand made, always scary thin and always beautiful to look at. Downside? Well, our delivery time is several years so that can sometimes be frustrating... Wakui is a very talanted blacksmith from Sanjo, Japan. He makes everything by hand and his attention to detail is fenomenal. The spine is rounded and smooth and the texture of the blade is amazing. Its a winner, no doubt.

Carbon steel is NOT stainless. Therefor, the core steel has been laminated with stainless steel. The blade sides will remain shiny but the core will receive a darker patina.

Disclaimer: Japanese knives have thin edges with high hardness. This makes them much more fragile than traditional european knives. These blades should under no circumstances be subject to twisting, prising or cutting into hard objects. Such handling could easily cause damage to the edge, something that is not valid ground for a warranty claim
