Notice Kiritsuke Yanagiba Shirogami-1 (WS#1) Mizu Honyaki 330mm Mt.Fuji and Moon One side Mirror By Masakuni Genkai has zero inventory and cannot be added to the cart

Please add it to your kitchen knife collection.

Genkai Masakuni is currently one of the few craftsmen who can make Mizu honyaki (Water quenching) knives.

*It is rumored that he will retire from the summer of 2020.
Therefore, we do not have any new arrivals.

He may be the only one who can do Mizumoto Yaki (Water quenching).
He trains in Sakai and then forges in his local Saga prefecture, but all his sharpeners are Sakai craftsmen.

If possible, we recommend that you sharpen with a natural whetstone.
