This old-stock Genkai Masakuni Honyaki Sakimaru Takohiki is a rare find—an authentic piece of Japanese craftsmanship from more than two decades ago. The older Genkai Masakuni seal (玄海正國) stamped on the tang and the straight hamon line along the blade are clear signs of its vintage origin, back when each piece was forged in small numbers with incredible care.

Made from high-quality White steel using the traditional honyaki method, this 270mm sakimaru takohiki has the crispness, sharpness, and refined feel that define true Sakai honyaki blades. The straight hamon—simple, quiet, and beautiful—is a detail that only master-level heat treatment can achieve.

To complement the blade, the knife is matched with a dyed and stabilized curly maple handle and saya. The rich colors and vivid grain bring out a stunning contrast against the clean steel, giving the whole set a sense of harmony between old-world tradition and modern artistry.

Elegant, understated, and full of history—this is more than just a knife; it’s a collector’s piece that carries the soul of Sakai craftsmanship.
