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.
The Deba is a heavy-duty knife used for filleting fish. The blade is thick and heavy. Not to be used as a cleaver or for chopping. Put pressure on spine to have precise cuts. Not to be used with frozen foods or to cut through thick bones. Natural sharpening stones are recommended.
*Not Stain-Resistant. Wipe dry after use to prevent rusting
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.
