Masashi Yamamoto handmade japanese knives

Our team is delighted to offer you unique pieces, forged by Japanese experts! On this page, you can find all the Japanese knives created by masashi yamamoto san, a colorful young blacksmith. Although he forges in his flip-flops, with a cigarette in his mouth, he is nonetheless a recognized craftsman at home and abroad. Having begun his apprenticeship with his brother, he became a master of polishing and, over the years, developed special heat treatments to increase blade rigidity. Masashi san's Japanese knives come in a range of top-of-the-range materials, such as Japanese aogami super steel, which is enriched with carbon and will therefore retain its sharpness over time, or rosewood, a superb warm-toned species that resists humidity well. Masahi Yamamoto also offers an artisanal Japanese forge-ground knife, which adds a touch of authenticity to your cutting equipment! Masahi Yamamoto is an ally in the preparation of all your recipes! And if you're looking for the best way to maintain your artisanal knife, take a look at our ultra-complete selection of sharpening stones!
