The Chef's knife is your versatile kitchen knife designed for all-around kitchen tasks. Ideally, this workhorse can be used for chopping vegetables, slicing meats, mincing herbs, and much more. The Kasumi knives' base blades are crafted of V-Gold No. 10 (VG-10) high carbon stainless steel that has been developed especially for knives. The blades are hardened to Rockwell C59-60 and therefore maintain a sharper edge longer than another cutlery line.  The intriguing Kasumi Damascus pattern seen on the blade is a result of the repeated folding and forging of fine stainless steel into 32 multiple layers. Made with an ergonomically designed laminated wood handle, these knives are effortless to hold and control when carrying out your kitchen tasks.
