Damascus multipurpose chef knife for Christmas? O Law’s yes

It’s like a dream when you give a loved one a Damascus Chef or pocket knife in a special bag and presentation box from the same company on Christmas morning or the days of Chanukah.  This A-4 I have personally used on everything from very rare roast beef, whole prime rib racks and not to mention deep fried turkeys to smoked ones. Clean them right up and continue to your potatos, shallots, leeks, bread, onions or whatever and have the confidence in knowing that it’s real Damascus not just a print and no matter how many sharpening it’s going to look just as shiny. Just like ALL QUALITY KNIVES keep every one you own out of the dishwasher takes 30 secs and hit it with a soft sponge or rag with mild detergent. Sharpening is free on this one this holiday season and just picture the look on your loved ones face when the beauty hits the eyes and the edge glistens in the sun. the A-4 from Maestro Wu and retailer http://www.knifeknutz.com shop.knifeknutz.com james@knifeknutz.com

German 8 inch F.Dick just sharpened and ready for use

I usually use the 10 inch F.Dick but I haven’t used this maybe twice since I got it 7 or 8 yrs ago so I decided to dig her out of the Closet of knives and break out the Nubatama’s today plus my finishing stone and give her a great edge that will handle just about anything. Turned out well and it was all freehand of course, I’ll let you be the judge. Our sharpening shop will be doing more now since I will have more time in the future so send em all and they will be treated as well as mine and the end product should make you happy.  If you want a kydex saya so you can safety put the knife in your Drawer if that’s where you keep it.

Sometimes it’s just good to go French, back to the culinary cooking roots we know today.

Yes I bleed Maestro Wu orange, and will hopefully do so the rest of our family’s knife. (Box is orange except on MA series) occasionally I love to open my Closet par knives full of several blocks, racks and kydex sheathed chef knives. I have accumulated many in 20 years and sold some I should of and some I regret, besides the Sabatier this is my favorite Chef knife, the Le Theirs par Chambriard 30 cm chef knife. Like the Maestro Wu’s these are hand made and sharpen up beautifully but can easily be over sharpened if your using a fast cutting stones. Naturals from Japan or Belgium including the rare German Escher stone work wonders on these but today I decided to go with synthetics to speed it up and I have a pork tenderloin I will be cutting later and may or may not film it going through the tender piece of pig heaven. I will probably use the G-8 Maestro Wu I used at thanksgiving or the D-7 9.5 inch chef. All of these mentioned except the Le Theirs par Chambriard, this is my last ebony one I have. I will not sell this one.  Our sharpening service is open and a holiday special is going on get one of yours sharpened regular price and the other at half price baring no major repair. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to all.  http://www.knifeknutz.com shop.knifeknutz.com

Finally, the perfect slicer/sujihiki has been found, the Maestro Wu 24cm or 245mm perfect in all ways.

The 24cm or basically by ruler measurments 245mm, Maestro Wu Sujihiki / slicer is avaliable. I have had mine for over a year and yes we have different sizes for different folks but for the average Turkey, prime rib bone in roast, crown roast, Duck or what ever needs to be sliced or cut. The balance is perfect,  the handle is the right size and the freehand sharpened edge by jmbullman from http://www.knifeknutz.com on his Japanese Whetstones to a very keen edge that’s edge retention is a lasting legend when properly sharpened. The U.S.A. Distributor/Dealer http://www.knifeknutz.com has these in stock and in many sizes waiting on you to get one of the best knives you will ever own the D-13 24cm or 245mm sujihiki / slicer. Word of warning once you get one your going to be driven to get many many more, that I personally guarantee.  Questions? james@knifeknutz.com

Maestro Wu D-7 8.5 inch chef knife, the perfect one

I’ve owned or own pretty near ever brand of chef knife out there and I won’t lie the 9-10 inchers are my favorite, now don’t get me wrong my D-9 and G-8 are two of my favorites along with the Globals, Messermeister Mu’s black handle, Wusthof Ikons and my favorite German Knives the F.Dick 1905 and the jubilee which I only touched once it’s way out of my price range not to mention the Hattori’s the Kikuchi’s, Mac’s, JCK’S, and the great Le Theirs par Chambriard (best French knife ever made hands down) along with the Numerous Sabatiers along with my beloved Boker Damask VG10 and Shuns.  The Maestro Wu’s IMOP will keep up or beat each and every one of these along with edge retention that WILL beat each listed and the variety of professional Chef or our Cleavers that have never been equaled including our Chan or Asian Slicers that also come in many sizes and just like the rest of the Maestro Wu’s Dam near indestructible within or slightly above regular standards and I’m just referring to the kitchen knives and Cleaver I haven’t touched on the pocket knives or the tactical ones but here’s the D-7 8.5 inch I just freehand sharpened on Japanese Whetstones to a very sharp edge I go so far to say stunning.  Mail in sharpening always welcomed and greatly appreciated so much, I love it when people feel a real old style edge like the samurai did so many years ago, and quite similar to how I sharpen. It’s all about the Zen and the honor of family and love of this is why I do what I do and continue to do with the owner Kelly Bullock.

The D-9 Maestro Wu and the G-8 Maestro Wu, it’s praises can’t be sung enough.

This or let me say these two one which just pictured is leaving my house to a happy home the D-9 to a chef in the state of Kansas. These two chef knives even though look like there’s no way they can be considered chef knifes haven’t used it or seen the praises sung by Chef Chris Bruce and California’s own Chef Michael Bartley from Oregano Fresh Greek Restaurant.  Here’s some pics of the western handled D-7 and Nostalgic wood handled G-8. Enjoy and give them a try, if they don’t meet your expectations than as long as there’s no damage I’ll give you your money back minus shipping when sent back. Each on is freehand sharpened by jmbullman from http://www.knifeknutz.comwww.knifeknutz.com. Mail in sharpening always welcomed and greatly appreciated

Change or die! Maestro Wu’s newer line is a hit!

These have been around for awhile now, but get less respect than deserved. There is 4 models in the Maestro Wu MA series and every one is a winner as with any knife as long as it’s is properly sharpened, either freehand like myself with just stone, water, hands, and a towel. The edge pro and others like it are fine also I’m just a purest by heart and prefer to bring the old ways to the new knives and I feel the response and extended edge retention is unprecedented on all properly sharpened Maestro Wu’s.  This MA series is set up for more of the home cooks and chefs who like quality knives at home, yes I have several of the MA-2 (pictured tomorrow) in many pro kitchens including the ones I just literally finished 30 minutes ago on Japanese Whetstones.   These are some if the highest quality knives you will ever buy at reasonable prices and if they come from me http://www.knifeknutz.com shop.knifeknutz.com each one will be freehand sharpened to its optimum cutting level. Questions?  james@knifeknutz.com pictured is the MA-4 small chef/paring knife and the highly acclaimed MA-3 chef knife and a personal favorite of men and women alike due to the handle shape which leaves plenty of knuckle room. Enjoy pics and these models come in a black box with the Maestro Wu story and a red ribbon tie with gift bag.
