Masutani is one of our favorite lines of good value knives. We get particularly excited about knives that break the price-performance barriers and provide a high level of quality.
This Masutani is constructed with a core of VG10 stainless steel. VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel manufactured by Takefu Special Steel Company. It is fully stainless and holds an edge well for cutting food. Masutani covers the core in a san-mai style of cladding using a softer stainless steel, which receives a very attractive finish. The knife is ground very well, which makes for excellent cutting action.
The knife has a Western handle made from blue dyed maple wood and features a stainless bolster, both of which add to the great looks of the blade. We are stunned by the quality and performance of this budget-priced knife. This is a perfect choice for someone looking for the best bang for the buck that cuts great and is easy to care for and sharpen. It would also make a wonderful gift.
Simply one of the best values on our site!
