Kasumi Tora knives are meticulously forged using a centuries-old Japanese swordmaking tradition refined over 780 years. This distinguished craftsmanship offers unparalleled sharpness and lasting durability, presenting an elegant and accessible choice for emerging professionals and discerning home cooks seeking a refined entry into premium Japanese cutlery.
The Kasumi Tora knives feature Daido 1K6, a premium Japanese Molybdenum Vanadium high-carbon stainless steel, comparable to VG-2 or AUS6, specifically engineered for cutlery. The addition of molybdenum enhances the steel’s responsiveness, allowing for swift honing and sharpening—a refined choice for professionals requiring rapid blade maintenance, or enthusiasts eager to advance their stone sharpening technique.
The Magnolia wood handles, finished in a sleek black stabilization, are paired with a minimalist ferrule typical of traditional Japanese kitchen knives. This combination ensures exceptional comfort for prolonged use in professional culinary environments.
