The Santoku Aogami Damascus knife is crafted from high-carbon Aogami steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Meticulously heat-treated to reach optimal hardness, this blade maintains a razor-sharp edge through rigorous use, offering precision with every cut. Its Damascus layering provides not only a stunning visual appeal but also enhanced durability, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of daily culinary tasks.

The versatile Santoku blade features a finely tuned geometry, delivering exceptional balance and efficiency. The tapered spine and thin edge enable swift, controlled slicing, chopping, and mincing, ensuring safe, consistent results with every motion.

Built for enduring reliability, the Red Ebony Wood Handle offers a firm, ergonomic grip, making it comfortable for prolonged use. Designed for daily culinary tasks, this knife promises both elegance and value, elevating any kitchen’s performance.

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: Aogami Damascus
Blade HRC: ~61–63
Blade Type: Santoku (7.4 in/ 190 mm)
Blade Thickness: ~2 mm
Handle Length: ~5 in
Handle: Ebony Wood

Daily Use & Cleaning

  • Hand wash only. Clean with mild soap and warm water immediately after use.
  • Dry right away. Never air-dry—wipe completely to prevent moisture marks and corrosion.
  • Avoid dishwashers. Heat, harsh detergents, and impact can damage the edge, handle, and finish.
  • Use proper cutting boards: wood or soft plastic. Avoid glass, granite, marble, and ceramic.

Storage

  • Store in a knife block, magnetic strip, or edge guards to protect the edge and prevent chips.
  • Keep blades separated—never toss in a drawer unprotected.

Edge Maintenance

  • Hone lightly as needed (if you use a honing rod, use gentle strokes).
  • Sharpen on the whetstone when the knife begins to slide on tomato skins or crush herbs instead of slicing cleanly.
  • After sharpening, rinse and dry the blade carefully.

What to Avoid

  • Don’t twist or pry in hard foods (bones, frozen foods, shells).
  • Don’t scrape the board with the cutting edge—use the spine instead.

Whetstone Care Guide

  • After sharpening, rinse off the slurry, wipe clean, and let the stone air dry completely in a shaded, ventilated area.
  • Avoid direct heat/sun exposure (can cause cracking).
  • Flatten the stone periodically to keep the surface even for consistent sharpening results.

Customer photo review of Kiritsuke Knife - Damascus 2 Red Ebony Wood Handle

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

Customer video review of Japanese Double-sided Whetstone Include Non-slip Base

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!

Customer video review of Bunka VG-10 Ebony Wood Handle

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!

Customer photo review of Essential Japanese Knife Set – Blue Steel Blades, Ebony Wood Handles (Santoku, Nakiri, Petty)

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.

Customer photo review of 5‑Piece VG-10 Ultimate Home Cook Bundle | Japanese Knife Set (Gyuto, Nakiri, Petty, Santoku, Bunka)

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.
