270mm brings that little extra length for those with ample prep space and plenty of ingredients to conquer. Koishi knives from Masakage are the highest end knives made by that cooperative. They feature cherry wood octagonal handles and stainless clad Aogami Super Steel in the blade. Aogami Super is one of the best steels for kitchen knives as it takes a great edge and holds it for a long time too. The stainless cladding helps reduce blade reactivity and the tsuchime (hammered) finish from which this knife takes its name (Koishi meaning pebbles) provides the knife some anti-stiction properties. These are great knives, and truly functional pieces of art.

This knife is as beautiful as it is effective...I give it 4 stars for performance but could have had a better rating if it were a true 50/50 bevel on the blade...being a left handed chef I noticed it to be a bit more flat above the grind...not sure if it was intentional or part of the handmade uniqueness of the product...overall I highly recommend this knife and will say it only gets more beautiful with use

This is my easily my favorite knife to date. (purchased used about a month ago) It is Very thin behind the edge. Very hard steel that is maintaining a razor's edge very nicely. I use it most days for work, no need to sharpen yet. I'm looking forward to more Masakage's in the future.
