Product Description
The kenmuki is designed to cut thin slices of vegetables. The sharp pointed tip is used to cut intricate designs.
Suminagshi (Damascus) knives are made by repeatedly and forging soft iron onto Ao-Ko #1 (blue steel #1). Unlike traditional Kasumi knives, which are forged with one layer of soft iron onto high carbon steel. Suminagashi knives are made with many soft iron layers that 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 are unveiled. All of our Suminagashi knives are made with premium Ao-Ko #1. Which significantly increases durability and sharpness compared to Ao-Ko #2 (blue steel #2). Not Stain-Resistant*
History- Since 1550, Yoshihiro, Masamune, and Yoshimitsu were known as the best sword craftsmen in Japan. After his death, Yoshihiro's apprentices continued to use his technique and traditional skills. The techniques used to make samurai swords are used to make Yoshihiro chef knives. Yoshihiro knives are now recognized to be one of the best chef knives in Japan due to the rich history and techniques that are applied from sword making to chef knives.
