Kasumi HM

Exceptional Japanese knives

The combination of state-of-the-art technology and craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation has always shaped everything we do. The Kasumi HM series (HaMmered) perfectly embodies this philosophy. Although it shares certain features with the Kasumi Masterpiece series, in particular a VG10 steel core and a hand-finished edge on a fine-grained 3000-grit whetstone, it nevertheless has a distinct identity of its own.

    Its ergonomic and innovative handle, made from a special resin, offers superb handling. It is longer than that of traditional Japanese knives and, thanks to its well-thought-out shape and the rear stop, fits naturally into the palm of the hand. The double metal ring lends the knife added elegance whilst emphasising its distinctive character.
    The core, made of VG10 steel - renowned for its hardness and exceptional sharpness - is protected on both sides by softer layers of steel. This construction gives the blade outstanding resistance to mechanical stress whilst maintaining its cutting performance.
    The surface of the blade bears the characteristic marks of high-frequency mechanical hammering. Beyond its unique aesthetic appeal, this treatment creates a non-stick effect that prevents food from sticking whilst cutting.
