Masutani Kunihira
Musutani Kunihira are a relatively small Japanese blacksmith that produce their knives in small batches. We like these knives a lot! - All Musutani Kunihara knives boast a pretty unique design and are light weight to handle. As their knives are very popular in Japan the handle might be a little short for some but personally I prefer a smaller handle as it gives more control over the blade. We are looking to increase the range in 2023.
Many of the knives are Japanese damascus steel and we love them!!
