Handcrafted by the storied Sumikama family (now in its 27th generation of master knife makers), Kasumi cutlery is prized for its exceptional strength, sharpness and longevity. Each Damascus-style blade is made by hand with 32 layers of VG-10 high-carbon, high-cobalt stainless steel folded around a central core, resulting in knives of unparalleled durability. The full-tang blades are fitted with laminated timber handles for comfort and control. This set includes three essential knives you'll use every day. The paring knife (aka kawa muki knife) is ideal for peeling and paring ingredients. The utility knife (aka petty knife) excels at peeling, chopping and slicing. The santoku is perfect for slicing, dicing, and mincing vegetables, fruit and meat.
