Kasumi Damacus Slicer Knife 24cm Japanese Stainless Steel

The Kasumi Damacus Slicer Knife features a 24cm blade with a double riveted laminated wood handle.

The ancient technique of Japanese sword making, used for over 780 years, continues to be used in the making of Kasumi knives. This explains their excellent cutting ability and hardness.

The main cutting blade of Kasumi knives are made from VG-10 high carbon stainless steel that has been developed especially for knives. The blades are hardened to Rockwell C59 - 60 degrees, and, therefore, keep a sharper cutting edge longer than any other knives. On both sides of the main cutting blade, fine damacus stainless steel is clad.

The pattern in the damacus stainless steel on both sides of the blade is the result of repeated folding and forging of fine stainless steel into multiple layers. The beauty of the Kasumi pattern together with the strong black laminated wood handles makes these knives look graceful, yet strong and good for any style of cooking.
