Masutani Hamono

Masutani Hamono "Kokuryu" VG10 Tsuchime 165mm Nakiri

$94.00

This partly handcrafted Nakiri is made of VG10 steel core, clad in stainless steel with Tsuchime finish. Measuring just 1.9mm at heel, the exceptionally thin blade allows you to perform extremely smooth cuts. The blade's stainless capability and the western handle made of blue pakkawood make this knife extremely easy to maintain. Fit and finish is excellent for a knife at this price range.

About Masutani Hamono 増谷刃物

Masutani Hamono is a small knifemaker based in Echizen, the “Knife City” of Japan. As fourth generation blacksmith as well as brother of the owner of Ryusen Hamono, Kunio Masutani (増谷 訓生) has more than 30 years of knifemaking experience. Mr. Masutani’s motto is to make affordable and practical kitchen knives to be used in normal households. He pays great attention to the cutting performance and the easiness in maintenance as well as the aesthetic quality of his knives.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethylene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Awesome knife!

First thing about holding this knife is how comfortable it is to hold. Balance and weight were perfect that I was slicing through garlic and vegetables as if the knife was weightless. It did come razor sharp. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from this craftsman again. He definitely puts quality ahead of pricing.

Amazing quality

Don’t let the price fool you. This is a well balanced and extremely sharp out of the box knife. Handling chores like slicing veggies felt effortlessly. Highly recommend others to purchase from this knife maker.
