Masakage knives are renowned for outstanding quality, stunning aesthetics, and high performance. This 150mm petty from Masakage’s Mizu line exemplifies these characteristics. The knife is handcrafted by master blacksmith Katsushige Anryu, a craftsman with over 50 years of experience. Mizu means water in Japanese and refers to the kurouchi finish on these knives which resemble deep, cold water with a deep blue/black color. The steel at the edge is Aogami #2, a carbon steel hardened to 62-64 HRC, and is clad in soft iron. The construction is not stainless so it will patina with normal use. Aogami #2 is a premier cutlery steel capable of taking outstanding edges and holding them through grueling prep sessions. The knife wears a cherry wood handle with marbled resin ferrule. As Masakage’s most affordable line of knives, the Mizu is an excellent opportunity to try world class craftsmanship at an accessible price.

As usual, CKTG homeruns delivery and service! I love this knife, OOB edge about 8 out of 10. Fit and finish is good, especially at this price point. One item of note, however, the soft iron cladding is so soft and thin that the blade will become bent if enough lateral pressure is applied.

Great blade!, July 11, 2016Posted By: Dave - verified customer
As stated in the other review, the handle is only so / so and their is a step, but it's unnoticed in use. The blade is a real performer though and sharpens up really well. I stripped the lacquer on mine and I love the unique colored kurouchi finish. Hopefully, it wears slowly and has not shown much of any yet. Personally, I wish it was a little taller, but that's a personal preference. A high quality blade with a budget handle at a great price!

Great knife! F&F maybe not the best - this knife's handle was a different circumference than the ferrule so there's an edge between the two - doesn't seem to bother me when cutting but something that could have been done better. Blade and grind are excellent Otb edge excellent like most Masakages. I have a Masakage Shimo 150 petty and between the two i'm not sure which I like better. Pricewise that's a GOOD thing for the Mizu! Both are reactive, so be aware at the onset.
