Trained by the renowned master blacksmith, Masami Asai, Nao Yamamoto was given the privilege of continuing his inscription “Echizen Marukatsu”

These AS Damascus KU blades are extremely well crafted and a pleasure to hold. They are confident blades with a great distal taper. 

Aogami Super is one of my favorite steels as they keep a super sharp edge and are great to sharpen. The Kurouchi blacksmith finish looks awesome on these and I am sure you will be please to have this knife.

Ironclad - as these knives are all carbon, extra care must be taken to ensure the blade does not rust. Please wipe dry after each use.  

Use & Care

• Do not attempt to cut, hit or chop frozen products or bones. The blade can chip or break with improper use.
• Hand wash with warm water and towel dry. Never put the knife in a dishwasher, nor soak it in water. Ever!
• Use a sharpening stone to maintain the sharpness of the blade. 
• Do not use on hard melons or items that may torque the blade.
