Masakage Kumo Santoku (universal knife), 165 mm
Masakage Kumo Santoku,
This Japanese Santoku knife has a core of Japanese VG-10 stainless carbon steel with a very nice damask pattern. The double-sided sharpened blade has the appearance of storm clouds, hence the name Kumo which means cloud in Japanese. This knife is completely hand-forged by master smith Hiroshi Kato and is unique in its kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened. It has no thickenings which makes sharpening very easy. A Santoku literally means "three uses" and indicates that this knife is suitable for meat, fish and vegetables.
