Single Edged – Hongasumi White Steel

Hongasumi, true kasumi, is a higher grade of traditional two-layer construction. Like Kasumi, a high-carbon White Steel core is forge-welded to soft iron. Hongasumi blades receive more careful forging, heat treatment and finishing, which gives a more refined edge that lasts longer between sharpenings.

White Steel is the purest Japanese carbon steel, prized for how easily it takes a razor edge, which makes it a favorite for sashimi. This collection includes yanagi, deba, kiritsuke and garasuki, some with kurouchi black-forged or hammered finishes and lacquered nuri saya covers.
