Masahiro’s Unwavering Commitment to Crafting Exceptional Knives

A Legacy Rooted in Seki City—the Heart of Japanese Cutlery

Since its founding, Masahiro has devoted itself entirely to the art of blade-making in Seki City, a region known for centuries of sword-smithing history. This deep heritage shapes the spirit and craftsmanship behind every Masahiro knife.

Outstanding Sharpness, Born from True Handcraftsmanship

Each Masahiro blade is created by artisans who have spent decades refining their technique.
Every knife is individually shaped, heat-treated, and sharpened by hand, ensuring optimal edge geometry tailored to the blade’s steel and intended purpose. This is why chefs around the world praise Masahiro’s smooth, precise cutting feel.

Timeless Quality Through Fully Integrated In-House Production

From raw material selection to forging, tempering, and final sharpening, nearly every step occurs in Masahiro’s own factory. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is compromised. The result is a knife with consistent quality that professionals rely on for many years.

100% Made in Japan—Authenticity You Can Trust

All materials used in Masahiro knives are sourced within Japan, and every part of the manufacturing process takes place domestically. There is no outsourcing overseas—just genuine, honest “Made in Japan” craftsmanship.
