Kasumi knives are hand crafted in Seki, Japan, by the Sumikama family, a
27th generation family of knife makers. Kasumi Damascus Knives are made
from 32 layers of stainless steel folded around a middle layer which acts as
the cutting edge. The middle cutting layer is made of V-Gold No. 10 high
carbon stainless steel, a material specially developed for the sharpest and
strongest knives. Kasumi knives are tempered and sharpened to create
the "sharpest kitchen knife out of the box" and the special technique for
this tempering is a closely guarded secret. The edge on a Kasumi knife is
beveled like a western style knife, however, the bevel is much larger than
on a European or American brand. This larger bevel creates a sharper
edge that lasts longer. The handle is made from multiple layers of wood
impregnated with a resin, a process that takes at least 3 months
