Suminagashi (Damascus) knives are made by folding and forging soft iron onto Ao-Ko #1 (blue steel #1) repeatedly.

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.

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.

Product Description

The flowing pattern in hand-forged layered steel can be mesmerizing but the advantages of suminagashi (sometimes called Damascus Steel) extend well beyond its beauty. To create these exquisite sashimi knives, craftsmen join carbon steel with soft iron in the kasumi method, then pound and fold the steel eight times on each side. This is a lengthy process, taking as long as needed to make eight kasumi knives, but the end result is a stunning 16-layer blade with the strength and flexibility of a honyaki knife. Style: Kensaki Yanagi, Steel Type: Ao-ko Suminagashi, Saya Cover: Wooden Saya Cover, Blade: Single-Edged, Handle Material: Ebony Handle, Bolster Material: Water Buffalo Horn with Silver Ring, Hardness Rockwell C scale: 62. Available Size: 11.7".
