This stunning nakiri comes to us from Masakage. Kumo translates to "cloud," as it was thought that the pattern on the blade resembled storm clouds. The pattern and finish are both unique and beautiful!
The core steel is made from VG-10, a popular stainless steel found in many high-end knives from various manufacturers around the globe. The Damascus cladding is also stainless steel, making this knife a very care-free option. The core steel is taken to a hardness of 61 to 62 HRC.
The blade offers a generous radius at the tip of the blade to allow for rocking of the blade. The handle is octagonal rosewood with a pakka wood ferrule.Brand: Masakage

I purchased my first masakage knife back in 2016, this Nakiri is the most recent one added to the collection and I could not be happier with the purchase. These knives are as beautiful as they are sharp, they perform amazingly and have never disappointed. I was very impressed at how fast the knife was shipped after payment, great experience overall.
