Kasumi Tora knives are meticulously handmade in Seki, Japan, using the expertise of skilled craftsmen who follow traditional Japanese sword-making techniques. Each knife is finished by hand, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process.
The cutting blade is constructed from high-carbon molybdenum vanadium steel, which provides a sharp, rust-resistant edge that is easy to maintain and sharpen. The handle is crafted from magnolia wood and treated with a black epoxy cure, offering a lightweight, comfortable, and well-balanced grip. The Japanese chef's knife, also known as Gyuto, is a versatile tool perfect for cutting, chopping, slicing, and mincing. Its optimal weight and exceptional balance make it well-suited for more demanding tasks like cutting through hard vegetables or portioning meat. The wide blade also serves as a convenient tool for scraping and transferring prepared ingredients from the cutting board to the pan or pot with ease. This knife combines precision and strength, making it an essential addition to any kitchen.
