Sumikama - Kasane Bunka Knife 135mm

SKU: SCS135B

The name “Kasane” comes from the phrase “kasane-no-irome,” referring to the ancient art of layering colors in Japanese kimono, and represents the idea of layering in many ways, from the layering of the scenery over the seasons and the layering of the hours of the day to the beauty of a woman who has many layers of experience in her life and the layered efforts of artisanship to create a reliable tool. With its usefulness as a tool in your everyday routine layered with the appreciation you’ll feel for it, we hope this knife will give your life additional richness layered with delicious meals on your table day after day.

Kasane knife blade is crafted from hard high carbon stainless steel and the edge stays sharp for a long time. We used our newly developed technology “ZERO EDGE” named after our achievement of making the thickness of the edge as close as 0.0 mm during the grinding process of the blade. “ZERO EDGE” results in a super sharp and long lasting edge.

The handle is made out of Gifu Prefecture's natural wood from mountain cherry trees, which used to be disposed of or chipped. The special beauty unique to natural wood gives each knife its own aesthetics. The lightweight handle has been designed for women and small hands. It is light, small, and is an ergonomic shape that conforms to the handshape.

Don't cut on hard surfaces. Cutting on hard surfaces, such as glass or stone, can dull your knives. Instead, cut on a soft surface, such as a wooden cutting board.

Avoid twisting or prying with your knives. This can put stress on the blade and cause it to break.

Use mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers, as these can also damage your knives.

Dry your knives immediately after washing. Wet knives are more likely to rust, so it's important to dry them thoroughly with a clean towel.

Store your knives in a safe place. Keep your knives sharp and safe by storing them in a knife block or magnetic knife rack.

To care for an AUS-8A steel knife, follow these tips:

Hand wash only: Avoid putting your knife in the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and heat can damage the blade. Instead, hand wash it with mild soap and water.

Dry immediately: After washing, dry the blade immediately with a clean towel. This will help to prevent rust and corrosion.

Sharpen regularly: AUS-8A steel is a durable steel, but it will still need to be sharpened regularly. Use a good quality sharpening stone or honing steel to keep the blade sharp.

Oil the blade: To protect the blade from rust and corrosion, apply a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil to it after each use.

Store properly: When not in use, store your knife in a dry, cool place. Avoid storing it in a humid environment, as this can increase the risk of rust and corrosion.

Here are some additional tips:

Avoid cutting acidic foods, such as lemons and tomatoes, with your knife. The acidity can etch the blade and make it more susceptible to rust.

If you do cut acidic foods with your knife, be sure to wash and dry the blade immediately afterwards.

If you notice any rust on your blade, don't panic! It's relatively easy to remove. Simply use a non-abrasive sponge and a mild dish soap to scrub the rust away. Then, rinse the blade and dry it immediately.

To prevent rust from forming in the first place, be sure to oil the blade regularly.
