MATSUBARA Ginsan series

A fully handmade knife with a rugged, authentic character. Tanaka-san makes the blade slightly taller than we are used to with our other knives. This gives the knife a little more weight, providing a greater sense of control and stability while cutting. The taller blade also creates a beautiful contact surface with the product, giving you excellent control with every cut.

The blade is hand-ground to be exceptionally thin and refined. As a result, the knife is very thin behind the edge, creating minimal resistance when cutting. Combined with the razor-sharp edge, this delivers that unmistakable wow effect: the knife glides effortlessly through the product.

The knife is made from Ginsan steel, a type of steel that is often appreciated for its combination of excellent sharpness, good edge retention, relatively easy maintenance, and the pleasant sharpening experience it offers on a whetstone. This makes it an attractive choice for anyone looking for the qualities of a modern stainless steel while also valuing the ease with which the knife can be kept sharp.
