“MASAMOTO” nakiri 165mm buffalo octagonal handle
"Masamoto" is a brand that has been selling high-quality knives for over 150 years since the Edo period, based in Tokyo. Among Japanese chefs, the Masamoto brand holds absolute trust and is favored by many head chefs. Consequently, it has become an aspirational brand for many young chefs who hope to one day own their knives.
Masamoto began in 1845 when the first generation operated a blacksmith shop and gained widespread renown throughout Japan for their high-quality knives. Presently, Masamoto does not manufacture knives directly; instead, they commission production to top-tier manufacturers across Japan. Only items that pass rigorous quality inspections bear the Masamoto seal and are offered for sale."
