Product Description
Kasumi means mist in Japanese. The border of the blade on a Kasumi has beautiful waves that look like a mist. It is made of two materials; blue or white steel and soft iron. The waves are the border of hard steel and soft iron. When hard steel is covered with soft iron, it becomes less fragile. Kasumi knives are easier to maintain than Honyaki knives.
Most frequently used to prepare sashimi and slicing raw fish. Can also be used to cut large cuts of meat without bones. Not to be use with frozen foods. Handle is made of natural Magnolia, which provides a secure grip and prevents slipping. Handle is D-Shaped that fits in hands comfortably.
Natural sharpening stone is recommended for sharpening.
Recommended for beginner to professional chefs.
*Not Stain-Resistant
History- Since 1550, Yoshihiro, Masamune, and Yoshimitsu were known as the best sword craftsmen in Japan. After his death, Yoshihiro's apprentices continued to use his technique and traditional skills. The techniques used to make samurai swords are used to make Yoshihiro chef knives. Yoshihiro knives are now recognized to be one of the best chef knives in Japan due to the rich history and techniques that are applied from sword making to chef knives.

By CFish
I bought this knife after first trying a Kai Shun Pro version. That knife did not have the right blade grind - it had a secondary grind on the front side. So I sent it back and ordered this one. It came from the seller in a couple of days with Prime, and has the classic, perfect grind - completely flat ground on the front, and concave ground on the back, resulting in a consistent razor edge. Also well balanced and a good length. Very pleased.

By Sophie
I make sushi for a living so I use this knife every day. It has a good weight. You can tell it's steel, because it's heavy but not too heavy. It really fits well in your hand. The blade wasn't bad at first, but I sharpened it and now I can cut paper thin slices of fish. Basically, this knife is exactly as described and came in a very timely manner.
