GHOST JAPANESE SMALL FISH SET
Just after arriving in Osaka I took up a position in a Michelin 2 star kaiseki restaurant Ichijusai Ueno. Their strong reputation for exceptional quality fish courses attracts customers from all over the world. Each morning we visited 3 separate fish markets – Akashi Sea, Ise Sea and Ichiba Central market to procure live fish & shellfish. Preparing sashimi quality requires meticlulous sourcing, care and precise techniques. Kikusumi Selection set of fish tools helps you to perform each step of preparation at the highest level. Meticulously crafted by the very best Japanese artisans. Their beauty and precision will inspire you to prepare fish perfectly!

DEBA KNIFE USES
Use this knife set for fish butchery that demands precision. Hongasumi forging provides the extra details which in turn elevates cutting performance. Single edge blades protect the orignal fish texture better than any other blade geometry. Sharpening is also easier and blade edges stay sharp longer thanks to the high carbon steel. G3 hi carbon steel saves you time every day – once tasks are finished just hand wash and dry. There is no need to oil blades before & after like other hi carbon steels thanks to Hitachi G3 semi-stainless steel. Weighted and balanced beautifully – this deba is made for creating beautiful food.

MINI DEBA
GHOST 11 cm deba knife handles small fish and shellfish that require a high degree of precision filleting and slicing. At 11 cm length, GHOST mini deba blades are nicely weighted for optimal control. The 11 cm length is the ideal deba blade length for filleting whole small fish like sardines, small bass river fish, crab, small squid, crayfish river bass, and mullets. Professional chefs will appreciate how this knife improves work efficiency and consistency. Slicing with single-edge knives like the GHOST deba results in superior textures as they do not crush cells like double edge knives will. If you want the highest class small fish boning knife in your kitchen this is it.

SMALL SIZE FISH SCALER
Gorgeously polished stainless steel for small fish. Easy-grip wood handles crafted for ergonomics and nicely finished. Not only do they work amazingly well – they last long and clean up simply. The best-crafted fish scalers we have in Japan.

KANSAI STYLE FISH BONE REMOVER
This is the best fish bone remover for 4 reasons. Grooved metal grip scales on either side prevents finger slippage even when wet making bone removing faster and efficient. Sharp angled at the edges allow for precise grabbing of bones whether thin or large. Cleverly this Kansai tool is angled rather than straight which gives you 10X power when pinching. This reduced effort and strain. Stainless steel prevents rust and assures long lasting life of tool.

BAMBOO SASARA FISH GUTTING KIT
Most will not know what this tool is for. To clean fish properly you need to remove all of the blood otherwise odor develops and bitter flavors remain. Once the fish guts are removed use the bamboo sasara to remove any remaining blood inside the belly by whisking back and forth along the spine under cold running water. It does this job best.

GHOST KNIFE COLLECTION
GHOST is named for the signature luminescent white line that forms on the blade and is unique on every single blade.  The overall image evokes a genuine Japanese sword characterized by its elegance, mystery and luxurious materials.  Subtle and minimalist, the GHOST is the knife for the demanding connoisseur of luxurious hand-crafted knives.  Every blade and handle are seamlessly integrated to give the knife a feeling of balance, precision and beauty.  It is a collection of knives  designed to enhance the cook’s ability to create exceptional food.  Unleash your creativity with the Kikusumi GHOST .

JAPANESE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each element of the knife is made by a master craftsman in Japan.  In their hands knives are crafted to attain excellent edge retention, exquisite balance and a remarkably refined overall fit and finish.  Refinements include a chamfered spine, highly polished “ago” – chin and a remarkable finish.

G3 SUPER STEEL

G3  Super Steel has hardness like carbon steels which gives it exceptional edge sharpness and retention.  Combining blade performance similar to the white and blue steels with easy maintenance.  Few forging artisans are willing to work with G3 because it demands a very high level of skill and experience to forge well.  Kikusumi GHOST blades are forged by a 1st rank master craftsman in Sakai holding the prestigious “dentou kougei shi” award from the Japanese Ministry of Trade and Industry. GHOST hand forged knives are assembled and given a subtle polish finish before the Kikusumi logo is carefully punched in to one side of the blade.

OCTAGON HANDLE

GHOST handles are crafted one at a time by hand from magnolia wood with a finish and smoothness that looks gorgeous and feels even better.  Magnolia is a classic japanese wood to craft and is prized for both its grip and longevity.  Each handle is fitted with a uniquely beautiful black buffalo horn collar that bridges the space between handle and blade.  Extra care is taken in the crafting of the knife so that a seamless joint between the handle and ferrule feels smooth to the touch.  Handle narrows slightly towards the blade to improve grip and overall performance.  In terms of woodcraft this tapering is difficult to achieve. The natural lines create a wonderfully ergonomic fit that is ideal for a kitchen knife handle.  For Japanese knives the octagonal or “hachikaku” handle is the first choice for the best knives.  Grip, feel and durability are key considerations during design with skilled craftsmen who make Kikusumi knives. These are exceptional handles.

CUSTOM MAGNOLIA SHEATH & EBONY PIN
GHOST deba knife comes fitted with its own custom fit saya. Sayas are crafted over a 3-5 month period to achieve a balance with the G3 knife blade. Sayas protect the knife blade from humidity, during storage and traveling. These are also beautiful.

ORIGIN SAKAI JAPAN
The origin of the KIkusumi GHOST is rooted in the cultural history of Sakai which stretches back over 600 years.  Honyaki knives are “true-forged” meaning that they are constructed entirely out of one material.  In this case a new Japanese super steel we call G3 that delivers high carbon steel performance with stain and rust resistance for easier maintenance.
