Block in walnut with Artelegno magnets that positions with its design and shape with elegance and refinement the high quality of KASUMI knives in Damascus, knives built in the city of Seki in Japan - where the art of making knives is repeated for 700 years.
KASUMI blades are made using the traditional Japanese technique used to make swords.
The main steel used by Kasumi is stainless steel, with high carbon, V-Gold No.10 with an edge hardness of 59-60 HRC.
32-layer Damascus stainless steel can be seen on both sides of the main cutting blade, as a result of repeated bending and forging of the various layers of fine stainless steel.
Each blade has been finished by hand and is made with a black plywood handle.
The Artelegno walnut stock allows you to place 7 Kasumi damask blades in the following shapes:
n. 1 paring knife blade cm. 8 (82008)
n. 1 boning knife blade cm. 16 (84016)
no. 1 santoku knife blade cm. 18 (84018)
no. 1 vegetable blade knife cm. 14 (82014)
n. 1 roast knife blade cm. 20 (84020)
no. 1 chef's knife blade cm. 20 (88020)
no. 1 blade knife blade cm. 25 (86025)
Total block size: cm. 29 x 15.5 x 30cm.
FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks. However, the ideal choice depends on several factors: Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade. Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade. Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency. In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

What’s the best way to store kitchen knives?

Avoid keeping them loose in drawers, where they can get damaged or become a safety hazard. It’s better to use a wooden block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. You can find the right solution in our catalog.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?

It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
Read More
What does "blade hardness" mean?

Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.

Who should use a knife case?
A knife case is ideal for professional chefs, culinary students, or anyone who enjoys cooking outside the home. It keeps your knives organized, protected, and always ready for use.
Read More
How do I choose the right knife block?
It depends on your kitchen space, how many knives you own, and your style. You can choose from vertical blocks, horizontal blocks, or magnetic ones. On AFcoltellerie, you’ll find a full range to compare.
Read More
How many knives do I really need in a set?
That depends on your needs. Basic sets typically include 3–5 essential knives (chef’s knife, paring knife, bread knife, carving knife). Professional sets may contain 10 or more tools, such as sharpeners, kitchen scissors, and carving forks.
Read More
Is it better to buy a full set or individual knives?
If you’re just starting out or want a complete setup in one go, a set is a practical and cost-effective choice. If you’re experienced, building your own collection piece by piece might suit you better.
Read More
Do blocks and cases include knives?
It depends on the product. Some come pre-filled with knives, while others are empty and compatible with most standard knives. Always check the product description to know what’s included.
Read More
How do you clean knife blocks and cases?
Wooden blocks should be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Knife cases can be wiped down with a mild detergent. Avoid dishwashers or soaking in water.
Read More
Can I create a custom set if I don’t find what I’m looking for?
Yes! If the combination of knives, block, or case you’re looking for isn’t listed, feel free to contact us. We’ll help you put together a custom set tailored to your needs and cooking style.

What materials are used for knife blades?
Blades can be made of stainless steel (rust-resistant), carbon steel (very sharp but delicate), or ceramic (lightweight and razor-sharp but fragile). Premium knives often use Damascus steel or advanced alloys. Not sure which to choose? Contact us—AFcoltellerie has them all.
Read More
What are knife handles made of?
Handles can be made of wood (classic but delicate), plastic (durable and hygienic), or technical materials like micarta or G-10, which are extremely tough and non-slip even when wet.

European or Japanese knives: what’s the difference?
European knives are sturdier, with thick, curved blades for rocking cuts and tough ingredients. Japanese knives have thinner, harder blades for clean, precise slicing—but they’re also more fragile. In short: Europeans are durable and versatile, Japanese are sharp and surgical.

What’s the best knife for beginners?
A 20 cm chef’s knife is the most versatile option to start with. Paired with a paring knife, it covers most everyday kitchen needs.
Read More
What are the grooves (granton edge) on a blade for?
The grooves or “granton edge” reduce friction and prevent food from sticking to the blade. They’re especially useful with wet or soft foods like fish, cheese, or vegetables.
Read More
Are there knives for left-handed users?
Yes. Some single-bevel Japanese knives are made specifically for right- or left-handed use. Many universal knives, with a double bevel, work well for both.
Read More
A complete block or an empty one?
A complete block already comes with a matching set of knives, often with a honing steel or scissors, and each slot is designed for a specific knife. An empty block is for storing knives you already own or will choose individually: in that case a magnetic or bristle block is the better choice, because it doesn't depend on the shape of each blade.
What deeply characterises the Damascus VG-10 series?
The Damascus VG-10 series represents Kasumi’s most iconic identity: a high-hardness VG-10 steel core is clad in Damascus layers that are not only aesthetic, but also contribute to improved surface resistance. The result is a blade that combines very high cutting performance with a strong visual identity, while still remaining more approachable than other more extreme Damascus knives.
What characterises Kasumi complete cases?
Kasumi complete cases stand out because they are not simply transport solutions, but fully equipped sets designed for professional or advanced use. Inside, they include a selection of professional knives and premium accessories, arranged in a safe and organised way. The case therefore serves not only to protect and transport the equipment, but also as a complete solution that combines quality, function and presentation.
What types of knife block are there?
In slotted blocks each knife has its own slot: they are compact, but only take blades of compatible size. In magnetic blocks the blades cling to the sides of the block, stay visible and can be of different shapes; some models rotate. In bristle blocks, a bundle of plastic rods holds blades in any position. In-drawer blocks hold knives horizontally inside a drawer and keep the worktop clear.
Who is this series really recommended for?
It is recommended for those who want an authentic Japanese knife but do not want to move immediately into the most technical and demanding segment. It is perfect for advanced enthusiasts looking for a significant step up from Western or entry-level knives, but also for professionals who want an elegant, high-performing blade without excessive complexity in day-to-day use.
Who are they recommended for?
They are recommended for professionals, trainers, travelling chefs and anyone looking for a complete set of high-level knives and accessories. They are especially suitable for users who want a ready-to-use solution that combines operational practicality with the value of premium equipment.
How do I know if my knives will fit?
For slotted blocks, compare the length and height of your blades with the measurements on the product page: tall blades, such as santokus, cleavers or some Japanese knives, often won't fit standard slots. For magnetic blocks, check the maximum blade length and number of knives stated by the manufacturer. Never force a blade into a narrow slot: it damages the edge.
For which uses does it deliver the greatest value?
This series performs at its best in precision work on vegetables, fish and boneless meat, where edge quality and blade smoothness directly affect the result. It is especially effective in long, controlled cuts, while being less suitable for heavy-duty tasks or cuts involving twisting.
For which uses do they offer the greatest value?
They offer the greatest value in situations where having a complete and well-organised set always available is important, such as catering, training, consulting, cooking schools or moving between kitchens and workstations. In these contexts, the case is not just a transport accessory, but a true extension of professional equipment.
Are slotted blocks hygienic?
Slots are hard to clean inside, so only put knives away clean and completely dry: moisture left in the slots encourages mould and odours. Every so often, turn the block upside down to shake out dust and debris. If hygiene is a priority, magnetic blocks, which wipe clean with a cloth, and blocks with removable bristles are easier to keep clean.
What is the correct way to manage it over time?
Maintenance requires care, but not extreme rigidity: whetstone sharpening helps preserve the original profile, while hand washing and immediate drying help protect the finish. It is important to avoid hard surfaces and improper use that could compromise the thin edge typical of VG-10.
How should they be maintained and managed?
Cases should be kept clean and dry and checked regularly to ensure that compartments, protections, accessories and closures continue to function properly. A complete case truly retains its value when it is handled with care and order, helping protect both the knives and the included accessories over time.
