Masakage Kiri Bunka collection-handle A proportionately heavier knife thanNow made by Yoshimi Kato, this bunka is a real beauty. Kiri means mist in Japanese and this is perfectly portrayed by the damascus stainless cladding that protects the VG10 core steel. This is a low maintenance knife due to being completely stainless, cuts well and will stay sharp for a long time thanks to the qualities of the VG10 core.
