Sakai Takayuki Kasumitogi (White steel) Japanese Chef's Deba Knife 180mm

The Kasumi blade by Sakai Takayuki is a reasonably priced line of traditional forged knives which work well for both first-time users and more experienced chefs. It is made to put soft kitchen knife iron on Yasuki's traditional Nihonko or Hagane — Shiroko / White Paper No.3 Steel — which has been widely used for a very long time in Japan. The material makes for extreme sharpness, very good edge holding, and high working hardness. You can grind it to extreme sharpness, which it retains for a long time. Blade Length: 180mm (7.1in.) Total Length: 335mm (13.2in.) Weight: 320g
