His knives are forged entirely by hand and are of a very high standard. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe spine has a well-judged taper and the knife cuts superbly. The blades have generous height, and the edges are very thin and delicate. The Shirogami #2 steel core is surrounded by black-oxidized iron cladding. This makes the knife very easy to sharpen, particularly for those who regularly thin the blade face and want to polish it to a beautiful Kasumi finish. The edge arrives needle-sharp because Masashi is also a passionate knife sharpener. These knives require no additional sharpening. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA particularly prominent feature of Masashi's forging is the flat profile with a very long flat spot.
