About Masakage 昌景

Masakage Knives was founded in 2007 by Takayuki Shibata, one of the top knife sharpeners in Japan. His goal was to help the legendary artisans in Takefu Knife Village to showcase their talent as well as their handcrafted knives.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Beautifully made bust with great detail and solid quality
Color: Veiled Maiden, Color: Veiled Maiden
This is a really beautiful bust. The casting is well done, the details are clean and sharp, and the overall nice weight and the quality feels solid and well-made. The size is exactly what I expected and it has a great presence once it’s displayed. It looks elegant and adds a nice artistic touch to the space. I’m very happy with how it turned out and would absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a decorative statement piece.

Nice Addition
Color: Veiled Maiden, Color: Veiled Maiden
Very nice size I spray painted to get the color I wanted came out beautiful. It’s a light weight. It dropped and cracked open but I will use super glue to hold it together. Still looks nice just weathered. It could’ve cost less.
