Masakage Kiri VG-10 Ko-Bunka 130mm

Yoshimi Kato is one of the more well-known blacksmiths working in the Takefu Village Co-operative. He makes knives under various names, including Kanehiro and Masakage.

The Kiri line of kitchen knives is noted for their fine materials, expert grinds, top-notch fit and finish, and stunning aesthetics. The core steel used in this line is VG-10 or V Gold -10. It is a fully stainless alloy used extensively in the cutlery industry. It possesses great edge-taking and holding attributes and is one of the most durable alloys used to make knives.

The Masakage Kiri VG-10 Ko Bunka ("Ko" means small) is a champ at paring and peeling tasks. It also shines as a tool for prepping garnishes. The lovely magnolia and red-dyed pakka wood handle add a look and balance to the blade that is just perfect. This is one of our favorite knife companies and one of our favorite small knives.

      Great knife, handle is just okay
    Posted By: Sean - verified customer

    Beautiful knife, sharp, holds its edge well. The handle is a little rough. Hopefully I can smoothen it out with a little work. Overall a great knife and a good value.
