Product Description

Suminagashi (Damascus) knives are made by folding and forging soft iron onto Ao-Ko #1 (blue steel #1) repeatedly. Unlike traditional Kasumi knives, which are forged with one layer of soft iron onto high carbon steel. Many layers are created during the process of folding. The layers create a beautiful wave-like Damascus pattern from tip to heel. With every sharpening new waves will be unveiled.All of our Suminagashi knives are made with premium Ao-Ko #1. Which significantly increases durability and sharpness compared to Ao-Ko#2.

The kiritsuke yanagi has a sword tip. It is slightly heavier than the traditional yanagi. The weight is evenly distributed from the tip and heel of the blade. This makes it easier to use the long blade. Most frequently used to prepare sashimi and slicing raw fish. Can also be used to cut large cuts of meat without bones. Not to be use with frozen foods. Handle is made of Yew, which provides a secure grip and prevents slipping. Handle is Octagonal Shaped that comfortably fits in hands. Whetstone is recommended for sharpening.Recommended for professional chefs.
*Not Stain-Resistant
