Masakage is a collective of master blacksmiths in Japan dedicated to delivering beautiful, high performing kitchen cutlery. This 240mm gytuo from the Kiri line is an exemplar of those ambitions. Handmade by Hiroshi Kato, a master blacksmith with over 50 years of experience, the Kiri has impeccable fit and finish, a very attractive Damascus cladding, and a beautiful magnolia wood handle with red pakka wood ferrule. The core steel of the knife is VG-10 hardened to 61-62 HRC giving the knife all stainless steel construction for ease of maintenance. Performance is first rate with an outstanding grind characteristic of all knives in the Masakage lineup.

out of the box a pro performer. I could not have been happier with this purchase. I broke it in cooking for Sheryl Crow last Sunday and could not have asked for more. Light as a feather and sharp as a razor...thank you guys and Kato San.
