About HAYABUSA - The Mangetsu (translates as "Full Moon") knife line from HAYABUSA continues Kurosaki's flair for creating something new and fresh within his blacksmithing workshop with the distinctive hammer pattern that creates a flash of lightning across the blade as it captures the light.

Mangetsu has used SG2 High-Speed Powder Stainless steel in this line, which translations to wicked performance with a long-lasting edge, that is thin behind the edge, so they glide through vegetables on the cutting board.

This is also one of the few series we carry that comes in both the traditional Japanese handle, as well as a series of custom one-off western handles. Regardless of the size or shape, you are looking for, this is a knife line that you'll reach for every time you are in the kitchen.
