The Kasumi Damascus series Chef's knife 20 cm is designed for all cuts in the kitchen. It is the most necessary knife of a chef and the extension of his hand in the kitchen.

It consists, as all Kasumi knives, of a central VGold 10 carbon steel hard alloy core, on which 32 sheets of SUS410 soft and hard steel are alternated, creating a hard blade, extremely sharp up to 15 ° and very resistant to oxidation and wear, with hardness 59-60 HRC.

Handle: The handle is made of pakkawood, a combination of layers of wood and resin, which secures on the metal of the knife (tang) with two stainless steel rivets.

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 "damascus" 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.
