Notice Kiritsuke Yanagiba Shirogami-1 (WS#1) Mizu Honyaki 360mm Mt.Fuji and Moon Mirror Finish By Masakuni Genkai has zero inventory and cannot be added to the cart

Please add it to your kitchen knife collection.

At present, it is common sense in Japan to buy Mizuhon Yaki (Water quenching) without hesitation.

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

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.
