Kasumi Kuro 21 Cm Hand-Hammered Damascus Gyuto Knife

Description

Hand-forged in Seki, Japan, the Kasumi Kuro 21 cm (8.27″) Chef Knife is the all-rounder your kitchen will reach for first. Long enough for confident rock-and-slice work on proteins, agile enough for fine vegetable prep – a true gyuto-style chef knife in the Japanese tradition.

Authentic Japanese Craftsmanship

Built from a molybdenum vanadium high-carbon stainless core wrapped in 32 layers of Damascus steel, the Kuro chef knife takes a wickedly fine edge and holds it. The hammered tsuchime finish minimizes food sticking, while the improved octagonal handle delivers a balanced, secure grip – the kind of details that only come from generations of Japanese knife-making craft.
