- The Kasumi boning knife should be sharpened regularly.
- The handles on Kasumi knives are made from laminated wood and as such are not dishwasher safe.
- Kasumi knives have extra sharp knife blades – made from V Gold No 10 high carbon stainless steel. The blades are hardened to Rockwell C59 – 60.
- Kasumi knives are hand finished at each stage of the manufacturing process.
- Kasumi knives are made using traditional Japanese sword making techiques. In this case it involves the repeated folding and forging of 32 layers of steel. A time consuming process which produces excellent results. ( In Europe we often refer to this type of steel as Damascus steel, after a traditional and similar middle eastern method of sword manufacture).
- The “wavy watermark” pattern on these knives is the result of an acid treatment of the blades. Each line in the pattern is a separate layer of steel. Not all layers are visible.
- ADVICE – We recommend that you hand wash Kasumi knives in warm water with a mild detergent. This is best done immediately after use and before any foodstuffs have had a chance to dry on to the blade. Dry immeditaely with a soft cloth.
- ADVICE – All Kasumi knives (except those with a serrated edge) should be sharpened regularly for optimum performance. Ideally this should be done every time you use your knife. Kasumi recommend that you sharpen their knives using a wetstone.
- ADVICE – Do not chop on to bones or open tins with your knives. Do not attempt to cut or chop frozen foods with your knives.
- ADVICE – Knives are sharp – please keep them out of the reach of children.
