Kasumi Nakiri Knife 17 cm Hammered 74017

The Kasumi Hammered series Nakiri knife 17 cm is a vegetable knife, similar to Santoku and Usuba, originated from Japan. It is practically designed for cutting vegetables in vertical use to the counter. The Nakiri blade and handle are designed to work together harmoniously making the authentic Japanese Nakiri an extremely balanced knife. The rectangular blade makes it sturdier than the Santoku and Gyuto and allows cutting of hard materials even with the front part.

Blade The blade is straight along the entire length and works both horizontally and vertically, allowing full contact along the entire length, both on the cutting board and in hand use. It consists, as all Kasumi knives, of a central carbon steel alloy core with VGold 10 carbon, on which a sheet of SUS410 steel is folded, creating a hard blade, extremely sharp up to 15 ° and very resistant to oxidation and wear, with a hardness of 59 -60 HRC. A press weighing 300 tons sticks the sheet on the core, creating a forged design, glossy and non-stick in use.

Handle The handle is made of polyacetal and resin polymer (POM), with low friction coefficient and excellent wear resistance, especially in wet or humid environments. The handle locks on the metal of the knife (tang) with two stainless steel rivets.

Packing Packed in luxury packaging.

Warranty It has a lifetime warranty.

Kasumi

The Kasumi knives are made by Sumikama Hamono in Seki, Japan, world-famous for their centuries-old Katana swords. Sumikama, one of Seki's oldest companies, is one of the most well-known companies for making high quality knives because it combines the highest technology with the handmade tradition of the old Japanese blacksmiths. "Kasumi" for the Japanese corresponds to "damaskus" for the Europeans and refers to the way the knife is made, with a central hard metal core coated with layers of steel sheets, soft and hard alternately.
