Masamoto KS Hongasumi Usuba 210mm (8.3")

Description  Masamoto KS Line  Masamoto’s White Steel Hongasumi is a 100% hand-forged line. The blades are forged by joining white #2 steel with a soft carbon jacket and each blade is hand-hammered, shaped, tempered and cooled by Masamoto’s expert craftsmen. After the blacksmith has completed his work, a dedicated edge crafter puts on each edge by hand using a combination of wheels and stones. The result is precision cutting and incredible sharpness. *These knives are single edged and are for right-handed users. Please contact us at info@chuboknives.com for pricing on left-handed models.
