Matsubara G3 Nashiji Matsubara blades are made by our friends the Tanaka family in Omura City, just outside Nagasaki. The origins in the blacksmith tradition came to the town with refugees from the Battle of Dannoura, over 800 years ago. Those techniques are still being used today in the production of knives and farm tools. Tanaka Kama Kogyo is a 4th generation blacksmith who owns the shop.

The knife you see here is a nakiri knife made with high-quality stainless steel called G3 or Ginsan. It's a steel well-known in Japan that takes a nice sharp edge with good stainless properties. Mr. Tanaka puts a beautiful stainless steel cladding on these knives and finishes it with a nashiji finish which looks great in person.

      Not really worth the price, February 13, 2023

    Just received this knife a short time ago, and it's functional... but that's about where the pros end. The finishing on this knife is rather awful - the bevel isn't uniform, which would require me to set a whole new one. And it's somehow gotten stained, even though I wash my knives immediately after use. I really can't recommend this knife; mine may be a lemon, but the pricetag doesn't make it worth the attempt.

      Terrific Knife, February 13, 2023
    Posted By: Jim V.

    After using this product for an extended period at work, I am highly impressed with its performance. The edge was sharp right out of the box, and I have not experienced any wedging while using it in various tasks. It is an amazing tool and I have cut boxes and boxes of onions without any issues which is not the case with my carbon steel knives. The handle has a nice finish and the overall build quality is top-notch. Very satisfied.
