Masutani VG10 Nakiri with blue wood handle. Masutani is one of our favorite lines of good-value knives. We get particularly excited about knives that break the price performance barriers and provide a high level of quality.
The Masutani is constructed with a core of VG10 stainless steel. VG10 is a high carbon, stainless steel manufactured by Takefu Special Steel Company. It's fully stainless and holds an edge well for cutting food. Masutani covers the core in a san-mai style of cladding using a softer stainless steel, which receives a beautiful hammered finish. The knife is ground with a deep blade path which exposes the VG10 steel at the edge resulting in a nice hamon-like appearance.
The knife has a yo-style Western handle made from blue-dyed maple wood and features a stainless bolster, both of which add to the great looks of the blade. We are stunned by the quality and performance of this budget-priced knife. It might need a touch on your favorite stone before realizing its full potential, but after that it will perform as well as many blades costing twice the amount. This is a perfect choice for a beginner looking to sample an easy to maintain Japanese knife. It would also make a wonderful gift for a student chef or home cook.
