Hand-Held Knife Sharpener for Ceramic & Metal Knives


This sharpener by Kasumi enables you to sharpen even ceramic bladed knives, which are second only to diamonds in hardness. It is simple and easy to use. It features two wheels, one is a ceramic whetstone wheel while the other is diamond. Use the diamond stage for your fine ceramic knives, and use the whetstone for your Japanese style metal blade knives. It uses water for lubrication, and is easy to clean. Use this sharpener with your Kasumi brand knives, and any other slim Japanese style blades.

Kasumi knives are made from 33 layers of stainless steel. Only the middle layer acts as the cutting edge, and it is made using V-Gold No. 10 stainless steel. V-Gold No. 10 is a high carbon stainless steel with cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and vanadium for added durability and ease of sharpening. V-Gold No. 10 is a high quality steel developed exclusively for knives and scissors. The addition of cobalt to this steel requires special tempering in order to maximize the full benefit of this steel.

The layers on both sides of the Kasumi knife V-Gold No. 10 core are made by repeatedly folding together two different types of stainless steel and forge welding them by hand until you have sixteen exceedingly thin alternating layers. These sixteen layers are then forge welded to both sides of the V-Gold No. 10 core.

The edge on a Kasumi knife is beveled like a western style knife. However, the bevel is much larger than the bevel on a European or American brand. This larger bevel creates a sharper edge. Kasumi knives do not have a bolster.
