Kasumi MP - 12 Masterpiece Damascus Chef`s Knives, 24cm

The core of KASUMI MP blades is made of the finest Japanese VG10 steel - with cobalt and a higher carbon content, developed exclusively for the production of very high-quality kitchen knives. After forging, the blades are reheated to approximately 800°C, then rapidly cooled and hardened to approximately 59-60 HRC (Rockwell hardness). This hardness of 59-60 HRC is considered optimal for kitchen knives, not only in Japan. It ensures excellent sharpness and a very long edge retention (resistance - the blade doesn`t dull quickly), while also allowing for easy resharpening with SUMIKAMA sharpening stones.
