Kasumi Knives are produced by the Sumikama Cutlery factory in Seki Japan. Sumikama specializes in producing knives from the most advanced materials, with the most advanced manufacturing techniques and produces knives to a very high standard.
Sumikama was the first large Japanese knife manufacturer to use folded Damascus steel wrapped around a VG-10 core which has been replicated by many other manufacturers. Kasumi knives are typically very hard, more than 60 on the Rockwell scale. Sumikama specialises in using VG-10 stainless steel, a steel mix containing molybdenum, chromium, vanadium and cobalt. This highly sort after steel holds an edge better than any other steel. This allows Sumikama to use a 15 degree beveled edge on his knives.
Our Kasumi ranges are sub divided into the original Damascus series, a VG-10 Titanium coated series, a hammered finish VG-10 range and a new pure VG-10 knife range. The Damascus range holds a thorough selection of different knife sizes. All ranges are available to purchase as individual items or we provide a specially selected knife block set for each line.
