Masakage Kumo Petty 150mm

£195.00

A great sized knife for those jobs where a Chef's knife is just too big, the handle is a good length and fits comfy in the hand. A joy to use.

Everything about this little knife is a joy. The shape and size of the blade, the wonderful handle which is in scale to the rest of it and the cutting performance of course. All in all it's a lovely little package that performs as well as it looks.

First Impressions

The VG10 steel core that makes up the cutting edge of this knife is heat treated by only the best metalsmiths at Masakage. Their experience means that these knives are made of the best material they can be.

Clad in stainless steel to protect the core from corrosion this range offer the best of both worlds. The sharpness of this blade has to be sampled to be believed and it will retain that edge for what seems an age, again thanks to that super hard VG10 core. Amazing performance to go with those amazing looks. Bliss.

Beauty

Just look at them, look! Each knife is an individually manufactured unique work of art. The stainless steel cladding is layered multiple times (to create an effect called Damascus steel) around the VG10 core which when ground to taper the blade to make the edge, reveals the many layers to create the cloud like effect you see here.

The dark rosewood handles are capped off with a pakka wood bolster and both have an octangular shape.

These knives are certainly eye catching and will lift any kitchen which is honoured with their presence.

In Hand


Thin, light and well balanced with an octagonal rosewood handle the Kumo is a nimble range across all the knives and ideally suited to long sessions in the kitchen.

Durability


VG10 clad in stainless steel is widely used in Japanese knives because it's a strong steel capable of taking and retaining a great robust edge and is quick and easy to sharpen.

Ease of Care & Maintenance Tips

VG10 and stainless clad steel is about as easy a combination as you will find for care, it's fully stainless and easy to sharpen and look after. Just follow our normal care instructions and your knife will serve you for many years.

Our Verdict

Every blade is unique and the finish is incredible.

Formerly made in small batches by Katsushige Anryu and now continued by his nephew Takumi Ikeda these really are a treat for the eye and anyone wanting top performance.
