Masakage Koishi 165 Santoku - Blue Super

The Masakage series is a collaboration between the blacksmiths in Takefu Knife Village in Echizen and the sharpener Takayuki Shibata in Hiroshima.

The series is forged by Yoshimi Kato and has been named Koishi (pebble), as the tsuchime finish (hammer marks) gives the impression of river stone and, together with the American cherry wood handle, the knife has really good weight and balance.

Foodgear always advises against cutting all kinds of bones and frozen goods. Knives must not be washed in a dishwasher, as this removes sharpness and provokes rust - even in stainless alloys!
