A while back I did a series of videos to introduce the Maestro Wu Bombshell Steel Knives. They are grouped here into similar-functions – for example, the chef knives like the D-6 and D-7, the curved knives used in a rocking motion, such as the D-3, D-4 and D-9, the slicers like the D-8, D-10, and D-11, and the meat cleavers like the D-5 and D-12. There is a size and shape for every need. Please enjoy!
