Kasumi VG10 Pro

The Kasumi knives are made by Sumikama Hamono Cutlery in Seki, Japan. Sumikama Cutlery specializes in the production of knives with the highest quality materials and the most modern techniques.

For the production of the VG-10 Pro series, Sumikama used the VG-10 "super steel" metal with differentiation of the alloy and different construction techniques. Thus, unlike the classic multi-layer Damascus knives, the Pro series knives have a single VG-10 "super steel" alloy. Such knives offer greater stability as Rockwell hardness remains the same everywhere. In fact, they contain 4 times more "super steel" than the corresponding forged Damascus ones.

The KASUMI VG10 PRO knives are handmade, based on the experience of experienced blacksmiths and made in the same way as traditional katana swords. VG-10 super steel To V-Gold No. 10 is a stainless steel alloy with high carbon content and additional cobalt, chromium, manganese, molybdenum and vanadium for extra durability and ease of sharpening. This particular alloy has been created exclusively for the manufacture of knives and kitchen tools. The addition of 1.4% cobalt to the alloy with its corresponding hardening, maximizes its performance and raises the hardness to 61 - 62 HRC.

HANDLE: The Pro handle is a polymeric material, a combination of resin and marble powder with a smooth glossy surface and granite appearance. It is beautiful, very ergonomic and with the brand crest proudly decorating it.
