Masakage Zero Santoku / All-Purpose Knife

The Masakage Zero line represents the pinnacle of high-performance knives, combining exceptional sharpness with pure aesthetic beauty. Each knife captures attention at first glance, featuring an ironwood handle—one of the hardest woods in the world—adorned with a mosaic chrysanthemum pattern. Every knife is personally sharpened and finished by Shibata Takayuki, the owner of Masakage, ensuring unmatched quality.

The blade is made from Aogami Super, the king of high-carbon steel—easy to sharpen, produces a laser-like edge, slices effortlessly like silk, and is incredibly durable despite its hardness. The outer cladding is stainless steel, making the knife easy to maintain. All knives are forged by Master Blacksmith Takeshi Saji in Takefu Knife Village.
