3 Paring Knife

Sumikama Cutlery, located in Seki, Japan, is the proud producer of Kasumi knives. Specializing in utilizing the most advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, Sumikama Cutlery crafts the renowned Kasumi V-Gold No. 10 Damascus Pattern knives. These impressive knives are constructed from 33 layers of stainless steel, with only the central layer serving as the cutting edge, composed of V-Gold No. 10 stainless steel. This particular type of steel is a high carbon stainless steel infused with cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, and vanadium, ensuring exceptional durability and ease of sharpening.

The incorporation of cobalt in the steel necessitates a unique tempering process to fully harness its benefits, a technique that Sumikama Cutlery closely guards as a trade secret. The Kasumi 3-inch Japanese paring knife, a versatile tool ideal for peeling and paring ingredients, features a striking Damascus pattern that is not only visually appealing but also resistant to rust.

Additionally, the edge of the Kasumi knife is beveled on both sides, with a significantly larger bevel compared to European or American brands, resulting in a sharper edge. The asymmetrical handle, crafted from multiple layers of wood infused with a durable plastic resin, is riveted to the full tang of the knife, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip during culinary tasks.

Overall, Kasumi knives are a testament to Sumikama Cutlery's commitment to excellence in knife craftsmanship, exemplifying a perfect balance of traditional Japanese artistry and cutting-edge technology.
