Masakage Kumo Gyuto 270mm
The Masakage Kumo line of kitchen knives is constructed with a core steel of VG-10. This is a very popular stainless steel which has great edge taking and holding characteristics. The name is derived from the Japanese V-Kin 10 branding. Kin is Gold in Japanese and thus you get VG-10.
VG-10 is a stainless steel with a particularly high carbon content of 1%. It also contains 15% Chromium, 1% Molybdenum, 0.2% Vanadium, 1.5% Cobalt, and 0.5% Manganese. The steel was first created by the Takefu Special Steel Company.
Anryu-San of Masakage clads the core steel with multiple layers of a softer stainless steel. The cladding is heavily etched to reveal the stunning damascus style blade road with a pattern that resembles storm clouds.
This large gyuto is a prep machine and is an ideal size for those that work in a commercial kitchen and need to process a lot of food in a shift.
Edge bevel is 50/50, so the Masakage Kumo is suitable for a right- or left-handed user. The handle is octagonal rosewood with a pakka wood ferrule.

Perfect blade you’d never imagine , May 24, 2020Posted By: Sergio Garcia
At first I thought I had made a mistake by ordering the 270mm but after my first go with the knife I fell in love the finish of the blade is always sure to bring complements the handle is perfectly secure and the blade is beautifully balance despite the length it’s lighter then any house kitchen knife you may encounter on the job the best part of the knife is the edge! it holds it and as a chef I use my knifes on a daily basis with confidence
