Masterpiece

  The Nippon Knives store brings you the most exclusive thing that has left the gates of Sumikama Cutlery with the KASUMI brand so far. This is a  special edition damask knife marked Japanese kanji character , which in  translation very aptly means MASTERPIECE.

 In this series, the already perfect KASUMI knife blades are brought to  absolute aesthetic perfectionism. This can only be achieved in a  combination of state-of-the-art technology with  many years of experience. It is therefore no surprise that only the best Sumikama masters are involved in the production of the MASTERPIECE edition.

As is customary with the KASUMI brand, the blade core is made of VG Gold 10 premium steel. "steel" is characterized by a high carbon content, which lends the blades extreme hardness  / 60-61 degrees Rockwell scale /. But hardness is just one of the  primary requirements for the perfect blade. It must also be durable and  especially able to sharpen up to the so-called. razor sharpness. Therefore, VG Gold 10 also contains manganese, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium and  cobalt.  And just adding cobalt, which requires special tempering of steel, is a well-kept secret of the Takefu steelworks.

KASUMI MASTERPIECE will enchant you with a beautiful drawing of its damask blades. This is achieved by forging 16 layers of special steels, which are then nailed to the core of VG Gold 10. The resulting 33 layers create an image of the playing waves of the Sea of Japan. The blade is completed with the emblem , which secures its membership in the  exclusive club TAKUMI.

As knives in this class have a service life of tens of years, the manufacturers have made handles of  highly heat-treated Micarta resin.

KASUMI MASTERPIECE knives are only sold in some specialty stores. Nippon Knives has the honor of being one of  them.
