Masakage knives have a well-deserved reputation for outstanding fit and finish, first rate aesthetics, and outstanding edges right out of the box. This 270mm sujihiki is called Mizu, the Japanese word for water, thanks to its deep blue/black finish. The core of the knife is Aogami #2, a top tier carbon steel, hardened to 62-64 HRC. The core is clad in a soft iron layer. While the kurouchi finish limits discoloration, the knife is not stainless so it will patina with normal use. The handle is cherry wood with a marbled resin ferrule. Masakage’s Mizu line is hand made in Takefu Village by master blacksmith Katsushige Anryu.

This knife is pretty sharp OOTB and the profile is excellent. I am a professional line cook and have only used the knife for 1 shift. Working protiens, this knife is ridiculous no sticking keeps sharp and I didn't have to hone it once all service.Fit and Finish leaves a little bit less than desired. But the knife itself is completely worth the money.This is my third REAL traditional Japanese Knife and definately not my last Masakage.
