Russums increases its range of performance knives with the launch of the Kasumi HM Hammered series

 

Russums, the South Yorkshire based multi-channel supplier of catering clothing and equipment, has consolidated its position as a key supplier of specialist chefs' knives with the launch of the Kasumi HM Hammered range.

 

Suitable for both right and left handed users, the Kasumi HM Hammered knives aremade from VG10 cobalt high carbon stainless steel, aspeciality steel that has been developed specifically for cutting edge blades.

 

The knife blades are hardened to Rockwell C59 - 60 degrees and feature a distinctive hammer pattern on both sides that serve both to strengthen the blade and to reduce friction and sticking when cutting. The polyacetal resin (POM) handle features a double rivet for strength and an extended bolster to maintain perfect balance.

 

Russums' Sales and Marketing Manager, John-Paul Marsden is delighted to introduce the state of the art knives to its range: "Kasumi knives are made in the same way that traditional Japanese swords are crafted. A steel ingot is folded and forged repeatedly to create fine layers, the centre two made from high carbon stainless steel.

 

"The HM series features the very latest technical materials and are stunning knives that are perfectly designed for cutting and slicing."

 

The range is manufactured by craftsmen in Seki, the historic capital of the Japanese cutlery industry and comprises 10 products, including paring, chefs', boning and Santoku knives. The knives are available to order online atwww.russums.co.uk, by calling 01709 372345 or by visiting the showroom in Hope Street, Rotherham.

 

Sixth generation family business Russums is a leading supplier of clothing and equipment to the hospitality industry, supplying chefs, students and food service workers throughout the UK and Europe.

 

Russums employs over 50 people at its Rotherham headquarters that are home to its showroom, offices, sewing rooms and an industry leading embroidery department.

Notes to Editors

  1. Russums was established in 1830 as a brush manufacturer supplying the steel and coal industry. Post war production of lorry covers, tarpaulins and items made from canvas led to Rotherham College approaching Russums to make knife wallets for the staff and students. Such was the success of the wallets, that the College then asked them to source the knives to go in the wallets and so began the business suppling the hospitality and catering industries that Russums is known and respected for today.
