The Masakage Shimo series of knives are rendered in White #2 carbon steel with a reactive iron Damascus cladding which, we might add, is seriously good looking. The knives are handmade by Yu Kurosaki, a young knife maker based out of Takefu Village that we are particularly excited about. His handling of W#2 in the Shimo is stellar. The knife can take a super silky edge has great retention characteristics, is easy to sharpen and very durable for the hardness it achieves. The symmetrical convex grind is extremely well done and gets very, very thin behind the edge. The fit and finish on this petty are very high. The handle is rendered in traditional, unstabilized Magnolia wood with a more durable Pakka wood ferrule. The edge is very sharp out of the box and has a fairly flat profile.

Great do it all knife for the kitchen. Has quickly taken over as my favorite petty. Excellent height for board work and is nimble enough for trimming and portioning proteins. Love the profile, has very good fit and finish and holds it's edge well. Would expect nothing less from Yu Kurosaki and Masakage. The reactive Damascus cladding is fun to watch like and ever changing piece of art.
