Masakage Yuki 170mm Bunka We love a santoku, but this bunka will do everything a santoku does with artistic flair. Masakage Yuki range The textured finish many would call Nashiji but Masakage has gone with Yuki (snow) to help you reminisce about first tracks at Tenjindaira. Hand forged white 2 carbon steel core is clad in stainless steel for extra ease of maintenance. These knives sit squarely in the comfort zone of workhorse which is thicker than a racehorse and livelier than basashi. All blades made by hand so they will display subtle nuances from the photos supplied. ...... Note: Made by hand, the pattern and finish of each knife will vary Tactile natural rosewood handle 50/50 edge grind suitable for left and right handed users. Read the separate care instructions tab Over time a natural patina will form on the exposed edge of carbon steel. The edge will change colour. This is the nature of carbon steel. If knives are left wet after use they may rust. Rust spots are easily removed with rust cleaner. For maintenance we recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner.
