A sharp knife in the kitchen is essential for safety and efficiency. These kitchen knives from Masazumi feature blades made from three layers of stainless steel. At the center is a V Gold stainless steel core that’s sandwiched between two layers of soft stainless steel. The slim profile of the blade allows them to tear through veggies and meats with ease. The hammered texture, reminiscent of craters on the surface of the moon, helps release food by reducing friction on the blade. Black Pakkawood scales and stainless steel bolsters make up the handle, which is shaped with a protruding curve at the base for pinkie placement.
