The Kasumi Tora Gyuto Knife 18 cm is an all-purpose chef knife,
which features a curved blade allowing to rock the knife on the cutting
board for a more precise cut. It is designed for mincing, slicing, and
chopping vegetables, slicing meat and more. Τhe 18cm version is a smaller knife for light jobs and precise cuts.
The blade of this model is made of stainless steel (AUS 8) with a high content of molybdenum and vanadium, so that the knife does not absorb odors and does not transfer tastes from one product to another.
On the surface of the blade a solid oxide film is formed, which provides additional protection against corrosion.
The knife is equipped with a black cylindrical manoglia wooden handle of Japanese type, equipped with an O-ring for better stabilisation.
Kasumi knives are produced by Sumikama Hamono Cutlery in Seki, Japan.
Sumikama Cutlery specializes in producing knives from very advanced materials with the most advanced manufacturing techniques.
Kasumi TORA knives are made of AUS8, a
high carbon, low chromium stainless steel that has proven, over time,
to be a very good compromise between toughness, strength, edge holding
and resistance to corrosion.
The edge on a Kasumi knife is beveled at a 26° angle creating a very sharp edge.
