Skilled Japanese artisans 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 edge of the blade, while the softer iron part becomes the body and spine of the blade. The end result is an extremely sharp Kasumi knife that is both easy to sharpen and retains its edge longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKasumi Tora knives are handmade by cutlery specialists and crafted in the same way as traditional Japanese swords.
