Matsubara knives are crafted by fourth generation master blacksmith  Katsuto Tanaka. He hails from the southern island of Kyushu, a region with a history of knife crafting that dates back hundreds of years.

These knives are tall, thin and confident. As this is an all carbon blade, care must be taken to clean and dry it after use.

These Gyutos are nice and tall with a very confident feel
