Kasumi Damascus Chefs Knife

Kasumi knives are hand crafted in Seki, Japan, by the Sumikama family, a

27th generation family of knife makers. Kasumi Damascus Knives are made

from 32 layers of stainless steel folded around a middle layer which acts as

the cutting edge. The middle cutting layer is made of V-Gold No. 10 high

carbon stainless steel, a material specially developed for the sharpest and

strongest knives. Kasumi knives are tempered and sharpened to create

the "sharpest kitchen knife out of the box" and the special technique for

this tempering is a closely guarded secret. The edge on a Kasumi knife is

beveled like a western style knife, however, the bevel is much larger than

on a European or American brand. This larger bevel creates a sharper

edge that lasts longer. The handle is made from multiple layers of wood

impregnated with a resin, a process that takes at least 3 months
