Masakage Koishi Aogami Super Gyuto 180mm

Think of Masakage as a home for a host of talented blacksmiths, collectively acting under one roof and name. Founded in Echizen by Takayuki Shibata, a famed Japanese knife sharpener, Masakage includes various lines as unique as the blacksmiths who craft them. This collaboration ensures that every knife purchased from Masakage is a quality product from Echizen.

The Koishi line, one of Masakage's most popular, features knives forged by Kato San. Each knife boasts a core of Blue Super Steel (Aogami Super), enveloped in stainless cladding with a hammered (tsuchime) pattern and an attractive matte kurouchi finish. This combination yields a high-performance core steel with a high contrast hammer kurouchi finish, making any knife in this line a true visual stunner.

The 180mm Gyuto is a versatile size, perfect for both home cooks and professional chefs. It's compact yet capable, making it an essential tool in any kitchen.

Perfect first Japanese Knife

I wanted to buy my first hand forged Japanese knife and the consensus online and from a friend was to start out with a Masakage gyuto. This ticks all the boxes for a perfect first Japanese knife. Carbon steel with stainless cladding makes it a great cutter without having to baby it. Its got a super sharp edge, but it's not too thin where I have to worry too much about it chipping. The 210mm length handles any cutting task without feeling too big and unwieldy for someone who isn't a pro chef. It feels good in my hand and it looks good too. Lastly, it's priced as a premium hand made knife without being astronomically expensive like some other Japanese Knives. All in all its a great middle of the road, good at everything first knife. I'd also be completely happy if it was my last Japanese knife, but nobody ever stops at one.
