More about Masakage Kiri
Masakage’s Kiri (mist) line are hand forged from VG-10, a high carbon, stainless steel created for knife making and then laminated with 49-layer Damascus. Truly useable art! Paired with an oval handle made of white magnolia and red pakka, the balance and overall feel is something that a serious cook craves.
VG-10 is a steel designed to make knives; it brings sharpness, toughness and stain resistance together in the best combination possible. You’ll never see your food discolour or have to pick up a rusty knife.
These blades are forged by Yoshimi Kato 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.
