This Santoku knife is crafted from Blue steel #2, with a Kurouchi finish and a Buffalo Magnolia handle. Discover its precision cutting quality and perfect balance, perfect for all your slicing, dicing and chopping needs. Embrace the beauty of luxurious craftsmanship with this exquisite kitchen tool.

“Santoku" means an all-purpose knife, including meat, fish, and vegetables. It is designed to have both features of Japanese Nakiri (vegetable knife) and Japanese Gyuto (meat knife). Being highly convenient and practical, it is most widely used in households. Recommended for those new to Japanese kitchen knives and novice cooks.

Aogami No.2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to Shirogami No.2. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Aogami No.2 is very similar to Shirogami No.2 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

Great knife but i will bw honest

The stuff of musashi is amazing good answered every question i had .
About the knife its pretty good ,
The feeling of knifes is good.nothing bad i can said besides that it isnt that sharp and need to sharp it

Good knives if you have the skill to straighten them.

As I said in the title these are good knives for someone that has the skill and knows how to straighten a knife, as a knife maker myself this was not a problem.
I bought six of these knives for a sharpening class I’m holding and they will do just fine for me now that I have straightened them out however having to straighten six out of six of them seems a bit much.

Pleasing workmanship

This knife quickly became my go to blade of choice.... I seriously look forward to using my knife !!!

Obliged

Incredibly grateful to customer service for their efforts. You can tell Musashi is a loving group of people, and it shows in the blades. This knife is so beautiful (and great) you could fall in love with it. It fits perfectly in my hand, it cuts ever more lightly. I can't wait to enjoy it more.

Awesome!

I bought this hoping it would be a good starting knife and it absolutely is. It came sharp, however, sharpening the knife with an extra fine stone made it even better!

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
