Masakage knives are renowned among Japanese cutlery enthusiasts for their exceptional craftsmanship and unique design. Handcrafted in Takefu Knife Village, each knife features premium materials like Blue Super or VG10 steel cores, enhancing sharpness and durability. Since 2007, Masakage has focused on delivering Japan’s finest handmade knives, crafted by master blacksmiths and hand-sharpened by Takayuki Shibata, a top Japanese sharpener.

A standout model, the Masakage Zero by Takeshi Saji, combines a Blue Super core with stainless cladding for excellent edge retention and a Desert Ironwood handle, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern style.
