The Kasumi Damascus 10" Bread Knife is specially designed to tackle even the crustiest artisan loaves with smooth, clean cuts that preserve the delicate interior crumb. Its long, serrated edge glides through bread, cakes, and pastries without tearing or crushing, making it a must-have for bakers and home chefs alike. At its core lies VG-10 high carbon stainless steel—developed specifically for knives—hardened to Rockwell C59–60 to hold a razor-sharp edge. The 32-layer damascus cladding on both sides provides durability, corrosion resistance, and the signature Kasumi pattern that’s both beautiful and functional. The knife is completed with a strong, laminated black wooden handle that is shaped for comfort and stability. Crafted by skilled Japanese artisans, this bread knife blends traditional workmanship with modern performance for bakery-level results at home.
