The short beveled handle fits securely in the palm of the hand, offering excellent grip even in slippery conditions, making it ideal for the delicate task of eeling.
Our handmade Yoshihiro Kasumi knives are crafted with the utmost care by master artisans, combining exceptional craftsmanship with exceptional value. Forged from White Steel #2 with a Rockwell hardness of 62, these knives are enhanced with a layer of iron, creating the characteristic Kasumi mist patterns on the blade. The result is a knife that offers excellent edge retention and performance, while showcasing beautiful aesthetics.
The craftsmanship of our Yoshihiro Kasumi knives is unmatched in both quality and performance. Each knife is complemented with a traditional Japanese-style handcrafted Magnolia wood (Round) handle, affixed with a Water Buffalo horn bolster for added durability and balance.
