The KS Series is Masamoto’s range of high-grade Shiro-ko #2 (White Steel No.2 ) Hon Kasumi Japanese traditional-style knives. When compared with the Kasumi knife-making process, the production of Hon Kasumi knives requires several extra steps be carried out during the forging, quenching, sharpening and finishing stages of production and requires a higher level of craftsmanship.

The KS Series is completely hand sharpened, polished and finished by especially skilled and experienced craftsmen, which results in extra edge sharpness and a more refined level of finish.
