Masakage is a collective of knife makers whose goal is to produce beautiful and functional examples of handmade Japanese cutlery. This 75mm petty from Masakage’s Mizu line is made by Takefu Village blacksmith Ikeda san, an apprentice of Katsushige Anryu. The knife is clad construction with Aogami #2 steel hardened to 62-64 HRC in the core, wrapped in a reactive cladding, and wearing a refined deep blue/black kurouchi finish. As both Aogami #2 and the cladding layer are reactive, the knife will patina with normal use and may rust if abused. The handle is oval in shape and made of Japanese cherry wood with a resin ferrule. Fit and finish are very good.
