The KS-series from Masamoto is a collection of high-quality Japanese knives made from Swedish stainless steel, designed in traditional Japanese style. The Wa-Gyuto knife in the KS-series is carefully hand-sharpened, polished, and finished by skilled craftsmen with extensive experience. The result is an exceptionally sharp edge and a simple, yet beautiful finish.

The blade of the KS-series knives is made from Swedish stainless steel with a hardness of HRC 60-61.

NOTE: The knife has a thin layer of lacquer on the blade. This can make the knife appear scratched. This lacquer layer can be easily removed with acetone, leaving the blade smooth and free of micro-scratches.
