The Kasumi Damascus range is made in the traditional Samuri way of folding 32 layers of V-Gold no. 10 high carbon steel to produce a wonderful Damascus effect on the blade.

The Kasumi hammer pattern on both sides of the blade is produced through a method of hot forging with results that the knife is not only a stunning looking knife but also has a stronger blade and the small air pockets between the food and blade when cutting reduces friction and sticking. The handle is crafted from polyacetal resin (POM) and features a double rivet for strength and an extended bolster to maintain perfect balance.
The Kasumi VG-10 Pro range of premium knives offer the first 'super steel' western style knife. Forged from one single piece of high carbon VG-10 stainless steel, these knives offer an extremely high degree of hardness. These top quality knives are extremely sharp and very durable.
