Masashi-san will also bring some super-limited blades with him. You can expect to see his classic Kemuri line (back for a super-limited time), his incredible SPG STRIX knives, and some rare single-bevel blades, along with his beloved Kuroshu knives.

    • Masashi KOKUEN

      Performance art in knife form. Great for those who value performance above all else, these knives are handmade by one of the best blacksmiths in Japan, look beautiful and will blow your socks off. The super thin edge glides effortlessly through food but they can be delicate!
    • Masashi Kaijin

      Logic-defying edge retention? Understated, classic look? High-end but rugged? Masashi-san does not disappoint. This knife is at the centre of every ven diagram.
