Made in Seki Japan, the method used for tempering the Kasumi knives is the same method used on the Samurai swords dating back to the early 1200s. The main cutting blade is made of V-Gold No 10 high carbon stainless steel.
The blades are hardened to Rockwell C59 – 60 degrees, this enables them to keep a sharper cutting edge longer than any other knives.
The Damascus stainless steel pattern is clad on both sides of the main cutting blade. This is a result of repeated folding and forging of the fine stainless steel into multiple layers.
The handle made from a plastic resin-impregnated wood and riveted to the tang.
