Masutani handmade japanese knives

Masutani knives: ancestral know-how

Masutani Japanese knives are created in the Japanese cutlery tradition. They are produced in Echizen, in the center of Japan's main island. Each Masutani knife is a handcrafted piece: by equipping yourself with one of these knives, you integrate a little piece of Japanese craftsmanship into your cutting equipment, for guaranteed prestige! Masutani draws its expertise from the skills of the ancient blacksmiths who created the katana, and whose experience has been handed down from generation to generation. Masutani is a seasoned craftsman in the field of sharpening, and all knives are hand-sharpened.

Quality materials for durability

The Masutani knife combines quality materials for long-lasting use. For example, it features a multi-layer blade construction, with a VG1 core surrounded by a softer steel to protect it. VG1 is a carbon-enriched alloy, which ensures greater blade rigidity, and consequently a sharper, longer-lasting edge (as the cutting edge takes much longer to deform). The handle is made of Pakkawood, a highly resistant composite material that imitates the look of wood. It is antibacterial, resistant to humidity and temperature variations. It is completed by 3 rivets. The Masutani knife is therefore a safe bet.
