An In depth look
Blade Type
The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.
Steel Type
Japanese Blue Super Steel, an elite variant of the "Aogami" series, is a high-carbon steel alloyed with chromium, tungsten, and added vanadium. This composition enhances its wear resistance, edge retention, and overall toughness. It will still rust if left wet for too long, but not as quickly as any of the other carbon steels. Favored in fine knife crafting, Blue Super Steel is renowned for producing exceptionally sharp and durable Japanese knives.

Introducing
Masakage
Masakage Knives is a brand created by the legendary Sharpener Takayuki Shibata, who also created the Tsunehisa and Ironclad brands. He uses some of Echizen's top forgers (Ikeda, Saji, Kato) and sharpens the blades in-house. They are a distillation of the high skill and finish Echizen is known for.
