Sasaki Masuta Japanese AUS-10 Stainless Steel Chef Knife with Locking Sheath, 8-Inch, Black
Sasaki Masuta Japanese AUS-10 Stainless Steel Chef Knife with Locking Sheath, 8-Inch, Black
- ULTRA-PREMIUM MATERIALS: Each Sasaki knife is produced utilizing cutting edge breakthrough technology and is precision forged from world famous 67 layered Japanese AUS-10 Steel. This incredibly durable stain and corrosion resistant material delivers incomparable performance. The addition of Molybdenum and Vanadium in AUS-10 steel dramatically increases wear resistance and edge retention.
- EXPERTLY CRAFTED BLADE: Each knife is expertly crafted using a traditional multi step process. First the blade is heated to over 1900 degrees F, and liquid nitrogen cooled to harden the steel to over 62 Rockwell hardness. Each blade is then tempered at 600 degrees F for two hours to reduce brittleness. The result is a perfect blade that is hand ground by a senior master cutler to be incredibly razor sharp.
- EXPERTLY CRAFTED HANDLE: The blade is hand mated to a full tang, triple riveted non-porous fiberglass handle which is exceptionally durable and provides a perfect weight balance.
- CHEF KNIFE THAT’S DISTINCTLY DESIGNED: The Sasaki Chef knife places all the power in your hands with an edge that’s sharpened at a 10°-15° per side, ensuring a razor sharp blade edge. The long, wide blade of the chef knife is specifically designed with a curved edge, so it rocks back and forth on a cutting surface (preferred by professional cooks). Whether you need to mince herbs, finely chop vegetables, slice fruit, or cut meat, the chef knife is the ultimate multipurpose tool.
- PROTECTIVE, LOCKING SHEATH: A premium quality locking sheath is provided to protect the blade when it is not in use.

Style Name: **Chef Knife**
Steeped in Japanese tradition, the stunning look and refined style of Sasaki cutlery is the result of a 60-day process that is intensively implemented and overseen. Only premium materials are used in creating each knife. The blade is precision forged from a single 67-layered Damascus high-carbon stainless steel piece (the cladding) with a cutting core made of Japanese AUS-10 “super steel. ” This vastly increases the steel’s strength, flexibility, and hardness, it is heated at 1000 degrees Celsius, then cooled down to 200-300 degrees Celsius. This treatment results in an incredibly durable, stain and corrosion resistant blade that delivers incomparable performance and outstanding edge retention. Giving the blade a razor-sharp edge is an exhaustive procedure of coarsely grinding, fine-honing, then polishing it to a mirror finish within an astounding 15-degree angle on each side, using a sand wheel that must be monitored and manually adjusted countless times throughout the process. The task is not complete until we have produced a visually arresting, powerful kitchen essential. The bolster is the juncture where the blade meets the handle, providing a counterbalance between the two for stability in your hand. On the Sasaki knife, the bolster is specifically designed and weighted to encourage a proper pinch grip – the correct form when holding the handle. It is also mirror polished to create a spectacular, glimmering focal point at the center of the knife. The handle is expressly engineered so you feel the power of the cutting process with each chop, slice, and dice. The handle is constructed of fiberglass, which is exceptionally durable and highly corrosion resistant. It is full tang (meaning, the steel of the blade runs all the way through the handle rather than simply attaching at the bolster), and triple riveted for superior stability and strength. Each knife includes a premium quality Japanese say (sheath) embossed with the Sasaki logo. A pin lock secures this protective cover on the blade, keeping it safe when not in use. To keep your Sasaki cutlery at peak performance, we highly recommend using only a traditional sharpening stone to hone your knives. Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
