Masakage Kumo 3 Piece Knife Set
About Masakage Kumo -
Takumi Ikeda-san loves making stunning damascus blades, and the Kumo is no exception. The name means ‘cloud’ in Japanese, inspired by the cloud-like patterns in the steel. Sandwiched between those gorgeous steel layers is a core of crazy-sharp VG10 stainless steel, an incredible material made to perform like ancient carbon steel but with minimal maintenance. The result is a blade that cuts like a dream while being super easy to care for.
Ikeda-san, the nephew of legendary blacksmith and Takefu Knife Village co-founder Katsushige Anryu-san, began his knifemaking apprenticeship in 2007. In January 2021, Anryu-san officially passed the reins of Anryu Hamono to Ikeda-san. By that point, Ikeda-san was already a master and doing most of the forging at Anryu Hamono. With some serious traditional skills under his belt and a fresh outlook on knifemaking, Ikeda-san is already doing the family legacy justice.
