Tradition and Technique - Kasumi presents a new range of Titanium coated kitchen knives. The blade is manufactured in Molybdenum Vanadium steel with 3 colors of Titanium coating - a material affording the sharpest edge possible by the combination of steel and Titanium. The outstanding edge of the Kasumi Titanium coated blades has been achieves by combing the best of advanced technology with the unsurpassed knowledge and expertise of the craftsmen making these professional kitchen knives. Their skills have been cultivated in the traditional Japanese techniques of sword making, handed down from generation to generation for over 780 years in the capital swords and knives. Made in Seki, Japan.

Titanium is non-toxic and doesn't generate ferrous ion, it prevents food from getting a metallic taste, allowing you to enjoy the genuine taste of food. Titanium is remarkably corrosion resistant and easy to clean and care for in daily use. Titanium is very abrasion resistant and protects the strong and sharp edge of the Molybdenum Vanadium steel blade. The combination of these materials ensures the edge remains sharp as long as possible.

Kasumi knives are produced by the Sumikama Cutlery in Seki Japan. the Kasumi V-Gold No. 10 Damascus Pattern Knives are crafted from the most advanced materials with the most advanced manufacturing techniques. Producing these knives requires tremendous experience and knowledge in order to be able to achieve the full benefit from these materials.

Kasumi knives are made from 33 layers of stainless steel. Only the middle layer acts as the cutting edge, and it is made using V-Gold No. 10 stainless steel. V-Gold No. 10 is a high carbon stainless steel with cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and vanadium for added durability and ease of sharpening. V-Gold No. 10 is a high quality steel developed exclusively for knives and scissors. The addition of cobalt to this steel requires special tempering in order to maximize the full benefit of this steel. Sumikama's technique for this special tempering is a closely guarded secret.

The layers on both sides of the Kasumi knife V-Gold No. 10 core are made by repeatedly folding together two different types of stainless steel and forge welding them by hand until you have sixteen exceedingly thin alternating layers. These sixteen layers are then forge welded to both sides of the V-Gold No. 10 core.

The edge on a Kasumi knife is beveled like a western style knife. However, the bevel is much larger than the bevel on a European or American brand. This larger bevel creates a sharper edge. Kasumi knives do not have a bolster. They do have a stainless steel ferrule that is forge welded to the blade to ensure that food particles do not become trapped between the blade and the handle. They also have a full tang. The handle is made from multiple layers of wood impregnated with a plastic resin. The handle is riveted to the tang.
