Genkai Masakuni (玄海正國) White #1 Mizu-Honyaki Mt. Fuji Sakimaru Takohiki 360mm

A truly extraordinary creation from the legendary Genkai Masakuni, this knife represents the pinnacle of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Forged in White #1 steel using the revered Mizu-Honyaki technique, it stands as one of the rarest forms in the world of Japanese blades.

Measuring an imposing 360mm, this tall Sakimaru Takohiki is exceptionally difficult to execute. The blade face reveals the majestic Mt. Fuji hamon, while the ura side carries a full moon motif, offering a dual harmony of power and serenity—an artistry few smiths could ever achieve.

The piece is finished with an exceptional full mirror polish, elevating both its aesthetic brilliance and its collectability. It is housed in a friction-fit ebony saya, providing secure protection and understated elegance without the need for a pin.

The combination of rare White #1 steel and the sheer size of this honyaki sakimaru makes it one of the true unicorn knives of our time. For collectors seeking the highest expression of Japanese blade artistry, this masterpiece is without equal.

A consignment knife from a famous Sydney Japanese chef. As always, K&S guarantees authenticity and will ensure safe, secure shipping of this exceptional blade.

Talking about Honyaki kitchen knives from Japan, we always think about the beautiful wave-pattern hamon. I have plenty of those waiting to be listed, but I want to introduce you this beautiful mizu-honyaki blade as my first Honyaki knife here at Knives and Stones: the magnificant "Moonnight Fuji mountain", which is named after its painting like hamon line featuring the famous Fuji-mountain. The K&S Special edition comes with an elegant K&S Ringed Gidgee triple spacer handle with blonde / cream buffalo horn handle and a matching black hardwood saya.

As far as I know, there are only two masters in Japan that can forge this type of hamon, and one of them is "Genkai".

This is one of the finest Japanese honyaki kitchen knives that you can possibly buy, I absoutely LOVE his work, and I want to share them with you.
