A brand with a long history for swords, tools and knives, Matsubara Hamono's origins trace back to the late 15th century. Now operated by Katsuto Tanaka, the 4th generation blacksmith of a family who earned their living by making sickles and other tools. The style of Matsubara's kitchen knives has evolved a lot over the recent years, we believe his current iron clad White 1 Kurouchi series to be among his best work for geometry and finish. A tall and thin Gyuto that allows a comfortable cutting motion, making it a highly capable all rounder. The heat treatment of the White 1 core steel allows this knife to take a very keen edge with ease.

Great knife

Recently received my knife and am thoroughly impressed!
The knife comes with a great out of the box edge and is ready to do work! The fit and finish is fantastic. The kurouchi finish is much more matte than what it looks like in the pictures, which make the knife and the finish look shiny and lacquered. I really like the look. It's quite a tall knife, which is exactly what I was looking for. It's thin, light and nimble.

As for the store, I placed my order over the Easter weekend and received it in eastern Canada a week later! The knife was very well packaged so as to insure nothing moved and no damage would come to the knife during shipping. Communication with Lee was great. He helped my selection by sending pictures and measurements of the two options he had on hand for the knife.

All in all, I'm extremely happy with everything!

Thanks!!
