Masutani knives come from a small blacksmith shop in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, known for producing exceptional blades at incredibly reasonable prices. We’re consistently impressed by the performance and value these knives deliver.
Crafted from VG1 stainless steel, this blade meets the four essential criteria for high-quality knives: excellent hardness, toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Originally developed for both kitchen knives and professional shears, VG1 is well-suited to demanding daily use.
The nakiri is designed specifically for vegetable prep. Its tall profile and flat edge make it ideal for push cutting, while the thin blade glides effortlessly through produce. The stainless cladding helps protect the VG1 core and boosts overall stain resistance. A hand-hammered finish adds a refined, artisanal touch.
This version features a yo-style (Western) handle made from solid rosewood with a stainless bolster that enhances both comfort and appearance. For a knife in this price range, the quality and cutting performance are truly impressive — and we think you’ll agree.Maker: Masutani
