Experience the Masutani difference - where value meets unmatched quality. We're always on the lookout for knives that redefine the balance between price and performance. With the Masutani, you get a cutting-edge masterpiece without the hefty price tag.
Crafted at its core from VG10 stainless steel by the renowned Takefu Special Steel Company, this knife exemplifies durability. VG10 is celebrated for its high carbon content, ensuring both longevity and remarkable edge retention for culinary excellence. Encased in a softer stainless steel in the unique san-mai style, the knife receives an exquisite finish. A meticulously ground deep blade path reveals the VG10 steel edge, giving it an enchanting hamon-like allure.
Elevate your kitchen aesthetics with its blue-dyed maple wood handle, presented in a modern yo-style Western design, complemented by a sleek stainless bolster. Every detail converges to enhance the knife's aesthetic appeal.
We were taken aback by the performance this affordably-priced knife delivers. Although it might benefit from an initial sharpening to unlock its true prowess, it's poised to rival knives that come with double its price tag. It's an ideal pick for novices eager to embrace the simplicity of a Japanese knife or a cherished gift for budding chefs and home cooks.

I’ve sort of bagged my really nice carbon steel blades that I’ve deemed collectible for stainless steel. My go to blade is a chopper king shirogami cleaver. Sometimes it’s a bit cumbersome and I wanted something a little smaller. I do most of the vegetable prep, so a nakiri is a logical choice. I hesitated because the reputation of them seems to lean towards a home knife.
Wrong.
This blade is fantastic. Stupid sharp ootb. Stupid. The Damascus is gorgeous and I cannot say enough about the blue maple handle.
It’s going in my collectible bag. I’ll buy another stainless nakiri for daily use.
It’s that nice.
