His knives are forged entirely by hand and are of very high quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe spine has a well-balanced taper and the knife cuts superbly. The blades have generous height and the edges are very thin and delicate. Around the core of shirogami#2 steel lies a cladding of black-oxidized iron. This makes the knife very easy to sharpen, especially for those who regularly thin the blade side and want to polish out a beautiful kasumi finish. The edge is delivered razor sharp as Masashi is also a passionate knife sharpener. No additional sharpening is needed for these creations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSomething particularly prominent in Masashi's forging is the flat profile with a very long flat spot. This provides very distinct cuts, but the knife will have difficulty handling a rocking cutting technique. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handle is made of burnt chestnut with a buffalo horn bolster.

Over time, carbon steel will develop a patina in various tones. This is completely normal but can be polished off with polishing paste if desired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Masashi Yamamoto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58132497203548,"sku":"MY-WP2-SJ270","price":325.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/5556\/6940\/files\/Masashi_nashiji_SJ270.jpg?v=1782288564","url":"https:\/\/stage.cleancut.eu\/products\/masashi-kataba-sujihiki-270mm","provider":"Cleancut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
