Masutani Hamono is a well known fourth generation blacksmith. Furthermore, he is brother of the owner of Ryusen Hamono.  Kunio Masutani , 増谷 訓生, is a small knife maker located in Echizen, (the “Knife City” of Japan).  Kunio Masutani has more than 30 years of knife-making experience. Mr. Masutani’s philosophy is to make affordable and practical kitchen knives intended to be used in everyday households. His attention to detail of the cutting performance & ease of maintenance as well as the aesthetic quality are unmatched. 

This Nakiri is crafted from VG-10 stainless steel.  The thin blade allows for precise & smooth cuts. The half tang Pakkawood western-style handle is comfortable with an approachable price. A Nakiri performs exceedingly well for cutting and prepping vegetables. Nakiris are typically a double-bevel knife specifically designed to work with vegetables. The design is derived from the Japanese single bevel Usuba with a very thin spine, squared tip, wide and straight profile.
