Masakage Kiri Japanese craft knives

Discover Masakage Kiri knives on KnifeLeader! This special range was created by master blacksmith Yoshimi Kato, himself the son-in-law of the famous Hiroshi Kato san, who taught him many things. The Masakage Kiri knife features a damascened blade with a core made of VG10, an alloy highly prized for its 1% carbon content. This makes the cutting edge rigid, and enables the knife to retain its sharpness over time. This high-end core is surrounded by almost 50 layers of softer steel, to protect it and give the blade flexibility (to prevent it from becoming too brittle). Enjoy the unique waves created by the damascus on the surface of every Masakage Kiri knife! The handle is made of oval-shaped cut magnolia wood, with a red pakkawood bolster that contrasts perfectly with the rest. Each Masakage Kiri knife is a lasting companion, allowing you to appreciate Japanese quality in cutlery.
