More about Masakage Kumo
Sexy or what? Dubbed Kumo (cloud), these dreamy looking blades could be compared to watching the clouds on the coolest of days. The blades are hand-forged with VG-10 stainless steel wrapped with alternating damascus layers of stainless steel and nickel, teamed up with an octagon cherry wood and pakka handle. They have a nice light feel and forward balance. Heavenly!
VG-10 is a steel that brings sharpness, toughness and stain resistance together in the best combination possible. That and it’s stainless so you never see your food discolour or pick up a rusty knife.
These blades are forged by Takumi Ikeda in Takefu Knife Village.

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.
