The 14cm blade is compact enough for intricate jointing, deboning, and trimming, yet robust enough to cut through poultry joints and remove meat from bone without bending. This knife features the Japanese honesuki shape, which is deeper and stiffer compared to a Western boning knife, with a triangular profile that maintains its integrity during demanding tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 32-layer Damascus steel blade encases a VG-10 high-carbon stainless steel core — the same cutting layer utilized throughout the Kasumi collection. It is hardened to 59-60 HRC and sharpened to a 15 degree edge, allowing it to retain its sharpness longer than European-style knives and delivering the clean cuts characteristic of a properly forged Japanese blade. The visible Damascus pattern on the cladding layers provides each knife with unique detailing and enhances corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCrafted by hand in Seki, Japan by Sumikama Cutlery, which is the 27th generation family knife maker associated with the Kasumi brand. Seki has been the center of blade-making in Japan for over 700 years. The knife features full tang construction with a riveted laminated wood handle that balances the blade for extended use. It is presented in a Kasumi gift box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Kasumi Damascus collection is intended for hand washing only.
