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.
