The flowing pattern in hand-forged layered steel can be mesmerizing but the advantages of suminagashi (sometimes called Damascus Steel) extend well beyond its beauty.
To create these exquisite sashimi knives, craftsmen join carbon steel with soft iron in the kasumi method, then pound and fold the steel eight times on each side. This is a lengthy process, taking as long as needed to make eight kasumi knives, but the end result is a stunning 16-layer blade with the strength and flexibility of a honyaki knife.
* Hardness Rockwell C scale Left-handed knives must be specially ordered. For Japanese-style knives, the LEFT-HANDED blades need to be special ordered to Japan and the cost is an additional 50% of the price of the right-handed knife. Please allow us to take 4 to 6weeks.
