The Kasumi Damascus 8" Carving Knife is designed for effortless precision when slicing large cuts of meat such as roasts, hams, and poultry. Its long, narrow profile ensures clean, uniform slices that a chef’s knife may struggle to achieve. The blade features a VG-10 high carbon stainless steel core, hardened to Rockwell C59–60, for razor-sharp performance that endures over time. Encased in 32 layers of stainless steel, the damascus-style cladding not only enhances strength and corrosion resistance but also showcases the elegant Kasumi pattern. Each knife is meticulously handcrafted by Japanese artisans to deliver perfect balance, durability, and sharpness. Finished with a strong black laminated wood handle, the carving knife combines traditional aesthetics with functional design, making it an essential for any kitchen that frequently prepares large proteins.
