The unique mottled pattern and exposed steel layers running the length of this slick looking, well built and finished gyuto from Masutani-san demonstrates his decades of experience as a blacksmith and sharpener.

This is a wonderful chef knife made by an expert blacksmith but with a price tag that represents astonishingly good value for money.

About this range

First Impressions

Out of the box, the knife benefits from Masutani-san's 30+ years of skill and experience as a sharpener andand it's clear from the second you look at them that there's an extraordinarily good value knife in every box and they're hard to beat for quality at this price point.

Beauty

The stainless cladding combined with the various handle finishes in mahogany or pakka wood combine to create a good looking knife with a unique pattern finish and the exposed steel layers exposed on the blade create a striking set of lines along the length of every blade.

Subtle but striking.

In Hand

There's some crossover between East and West with the handles on the Masutani knives - they feature a Western shape and style handle but instead of a more typical full tang and three rivets, they're designed to use a more typically Japanese half tang and only two rivets which helps to lower the weight of the knife and make it more responsive with a balance point further along the blade.

The fit and shape of the handle is very comfortable and smoothly polished so it feels great in hand.

Durability

You definitely won't have any issues with durability, the VG10 is a solidly constructed and finished knife and the use of stainless cladding around a VG10 core means they'll be easy to maintain and hone as you use them. This knife will be a true workhorse in your kitchen for years to come.

Ease of Care

Quick rinse and dry and then store it either on your knife rack or in your drawer with a saya or blade guard (or even in the presentation box if you wish) and this knife will last you a lifetime.

Our Verdict

Exceptional value for money!

You're getting an extremely good knife for the money here and the fit and finish are what you'd expect from a blacksmith with more than 40 years experience.

At this price, there's really nothing we do but say just buy it.
