Kasumi, meaning "mist," refers to the hazy or cloudy appearance of the blade's soft iron body, which contrasts with the high-shine appearance of the carbon steel. Skilled Japanese craftsmen forge Kasumi knives by joining a piece of soft iron to a piece of carbon steel. After forging, hammering, and shaping, the carbon steel becomes the blade edge, while the softer iron part becomes the blade body and spine. The end result is an extremely sharp Kasumi knife that is both easy to sharpen and retains its edge for longer.

Kasumi Tora knives are handmade by cutlery specialists and crafted in the same way as traditional Japanese swords. The knife is carefully finished, piece by piece, throughout its process by the manual work of skilled artisans.
