Masakage Yuki Japanese knives are now available on KnifeLeader.eu! They were hand-forged by Japanese blacksmith Yoshimi Kato at the Takefu Knifemaking Village. This is a place where the best Japanese craftsmen gather to exchange techniques, materials and experience in blade forging. Yoshimi Kato is one of the most renowned, having apprenticed with master Hiroshi Kato, and is famous for his original and highly poetic blades. The Yuki range (which means "snow") is proof of this: the blade of your all-purpose knife boasts an elegant nashiji finish with a frosted appearance that complements the light wood handle. The San Maï-structured blade features a core of Japanese Shirogami 2 steel, which contains around 1.3% carbon to achieve a hardness of 62HRC Rockwell. This core is surrounded by a layer of stainless steel to protect it and provide optimum balance to your Japanese chef's knife. The handle is made of sturdy magnolia wood and features a red pakkawood bolster that contrasts with the overall cool look. Opt for an elegant artisanal Japanese knife forged by an expert cutler!
