Masamoto Sohonten, Kamagata Usuba 200 mm. 

For the collector seeking something beyond the ordinary, this Masamoto Sohonten Kamagata Usuba offers a rare opportunity. Made during the late 90s, this knife represents a piece of Japanese craft history in its most timeless form.

Its 200 mm long blade makes for a powerful usuba knife while the the magnolia handle, paired with a black buffalo horn bolster, emphasizes both tradition and elegance.

The knife is completely new in its box and has never been used. It is a blade preserved with reverence, yet with a history that gives it soul.

For the collector wishing to honor the legacy of Masamoto Sohonten, this is not just a knife, it is an encounter with handcraft from a bygone era.
