Masakage Yuki Bunka 170mm
The Masakage Yuki Bunka 170mm is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife, expertly crafted for precision and performance. Its unique design combines traditional aesthetics with modern functionality, making it an essential tool for both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.
Hand-forged by master blacksmith Hiroshi Kato in Takefu Village, Echizen, Japan, this knife features a core of Shirogami #2 (White #2) carbon steel, renowned for its ability to achieve an exceptionally sharp edge. The core is clad in stainless steel with a frosty Nashiji (pear skin) finish, offering a rustic yet refined appearance while reducing maintenance efforts. The blade's distinctive profile, characterized by a sharp tip and a flat edge, excels in precise slicing, dicing, and chopping tasks.
The handle is crafted from magnolia wood with a red pakka wood ferrule, providing a comfortable and secure grip. This combination of materials ensures a balanced feel, enhancing control during use.

- Core Steel: Shirogami #2 (White #2) carbon steel

It's important to note that while the stainless steel cladding offers some protection against rust, the exposed Shirogami #2 carbon steel edge is prone to patina formation and corrosion if not properly maintained. To preserve the blade's integrity, hand wash with warm water, dry thoroughly, and avoid cutting frozen foods or bones.
