Great Knife
Gyuto Damascus VG10 Ebony Wood Handle pairs a VG10 stainless core with layered Damascus cladding to deliver a precise, kitchen-ready edge, clean food release, and refined aesthetics. Proper heat treatment and tempering give the blade disciplined hardness for long edge retention while preserving enough toughness to resist micro-chipping, and the stainless matrix provides confident corrosion resistance through humid prep and acidic ingredients. In hand, it moves with quiet authority, the edge tracking smoothly through dense proteins and crisp aromatics with a controlled, silky bite that stays keen service after service.
A balanced gyuto profile with a fine, tapering tip supports accurate detail work, while the broad belly and stable spine invite efficient push-cuts, draw-cuts, and rocking when the board demands tempo. The grind promotes low-friction passes and predictable steering, encouraging safer technique through reduced binding and a consistent, straight cut line that keeps slices uniform from heel to tip.
Built for daily durability, the Damascus cladding shields the core and maintains a polished finish, while the ebony handle offers dense stability, secure indexing, and fatigue-resistant comfort during long prep.
Japanese Double-sided Whetstone Include Non-slip Base
This set includes a double-sided sharpening stone designed for consistent, controlled sharpening. The non-slip base keeps the stone stable, helping you maintain angle and pressure—two keys to great results. Here's why it’s valuable for durability & performance:
Restores a crisp, lasting edge: Regular stone sharpening resets the blade’s edge geometry, bringing back smooth, effortless cutting.
Extends the life of the knives: Maintaining the edge on a whetstone reduces the need for aggressive grinding later, helping preserve blade thickness over time.
Improves cutting performance after sharpening: Expect noticeably cleaner slices, less resistance through dense ingredients, and more control for fine prep.
Stable, safer sharpening: The non-slip base minimizes movement, helping you sharpen more evenly and protect the blade edge from uneven wear.
Result after proper sharpening: sharper bite, smoother glide, and better edge longevity, especially important for high-performance steels like Aogami.
Blade Material: VG-10 Damascus Steel

This Kasumi Knives are good quality, yet it is not that pricy. I had some Nigara knives that bought previously but its not for everyone, if you love cooking at home or at work, Grab a set of Kasumi. they are balance and sharp edge. the secret is how you keep and use it.

I received the knife, it was well packaged and protected. There is just one small problem it was not at its maximum cutting but a little sharpening and it cuts like a razor blade

These knives are awesome! They feel good in your hand. They don’t come really sharpened but the idea is to have the fun of doing it yourself. I have also ordered the stone. Cannot wait to sharpen my knives and cook!

Well I love the knife and I'm waiting for my free one to be shipped to me. I'm even featured in a few of your commercials with some voice over on other videos. I plan on making more videos in the future as I buy more knives in the future from you guys. The knife with razor sharp out of the box I put it to a strop and made it even sharper hair whittling. I plan on using it in my kitchen at work and talking to the owners about making possible videos there as well. You're the first company I decided to buy an actual Japanese knife from and I regret that I waited this long the knife is awesome

Nice knife. Had to run it over a steel when it arrived (it was a little dull) but it cuts sweetly! I don’t know if this is a true Japanese knife but for the $170 I paid for it it is well worth the price!

Knives are great. I haven't had a chance to put them on the stones yet, which they definitely need (out-of-the-box edge was definitely leaving something to be desired), but I have been having fun, especially with the nakiri since it is something I have been lacking in my culinary bag. Aside from the out-of-the-box edge, the only thing keeping me from giving these knives 5 stars is that the handles have some inconsistencies around the decorative inlay. Probably nothing a little sanding couldn't have fixed at the factory before finishing the wood. These aren't the nicest knives in my bag, but they are up there and will be used frequently.

Essential Japanese Knife Set – Blue Steel Blades, Ebony Wood Handles (Santoku, Nakiri, Petty)
I love the knives! I ordered them to give as Christmas gifts, and everyone loved them. I did have a minor issue when they arrived; two of the knives were damaged. I sent a message to customer support, and I was surprised by how quick and professional they were. They responded quickly and offered to send me replacement knives for the two damaged ones... That's why I'm giving them 5 stars.
