The Cult Classic Slicer: Masamoto KS Series Wa-Gyuto 240mm

Regarded worldwide as one of the most celebrated Japanese chef knife profiles ever created, the Masamoto KS3124 is defined by its famous French-influenced, elongated profile and laser-thin distal taper. Hand-forged in Tokyo by Masamoto Sohonten—a historic foundry dating back to the Edo period—the KS Series represents the benchmark for balance, edge sharpness, and effortless food release.

Forged from high-purity Shirogami #2 (White Steel #2), the KS3124 takes a razor-sharp edge with incredible ease on whetstones. Its distinctive extended flat spot near the heel transitions smoothly into an aggressive, precise tip, making it as formidable for heavy board prep as it is for delicate slicing.

Key Features & Craftsmanship:

  • Steel: Shirogami #2 (White Steel #2) carbon steel core

  • Profile: Iconic KS Series profile with long flat spot and thin K-tip-like profile

  • Handle: Traditional octagonal magnolia wood with water buffalo horn ferrule

  • Cladding: Mono-steel high carbon

  • Finish: Kasumi polished finish

Note: This knife is made from reactive carbon steel. It will develop a rich patina over time with use. Wash and dry thoroughly after each use, and keep dry between prep tasks.
