The Core Collection,
Five Essential Blades.

松笠の核を成す、五つの表情。

MATSUKASA is presented as a single, focused lineup — five blades that together cover almost any task in a modern kitchen. Each shape is designed as a shared standard for chefs and serious home cooks who want one set of knives, made beautifully, for many years.

Chef Knife

シェフナイフ

An all-purpose blade that handles meat, fish, and vegetables with the same quiet confidence. The signature MATSUKASA balance and Damascus pattern at its most refined.

"Choose it first. Keep it for a lifetime."

Nakiri

菜切包丁

A straight-edge vegetable knife built for clean, vertical cuts. The flat profile keeps vegetables intact and gives every slice a deliberate, composed line.

"Beauty of the face becomes the cut."

Cleaver

中華包丁

A broad, weighted blade that cuts with surprising delicacy. The wide face is the most dramatic canvas for MATSUKASA Damascus — bold in profile, quiet in motion.

"Strength expressed as stillness."

Petty Knife

ペティナイフ

A compact blade that concentrates MATSUKASA craftsmanship into a smaller silhouette — built for fruit, garnishes, and precise prep work.

"Small in the hand. Deep in character."

Beyond the Core · Toward the Flagship

Beyond Everyday,
A Flagship Made for Generations.

If MATSUKASA is the entry into Japanese knife craftsmanship, MATSUKASA CENTURY is its flagship — deeper finishing, broader Damascus, and a more formal presentation made for a long, considered life in the kitchen.
