Masaru Guide

HOW TO LOOK AT STEEL TYPES

When buying a new chef knife there are different types of steels to choose from that have different properties. Depending on the task you are performing these properties can make the difference in performance and the possibility of damaging the blade.

 

We are going to look at durability, sharpness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening, all of which are determined by the hardness & grain structure of the steel.

For Collaboration and Workshop

Throughout our journey, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with numerous restaurants and universities, sharing our passion for Japanese knives and the art of sharpening.

We have done workshops in restaurant like Nadodi, Communal Table Penang, Shin Labo KL, Nobu KL, Akar Dining, Au Jardin Penang,

Huge success collaboration with well known brand like Cosmic Cookware and NANIWA Japan as well as School like Le Cordon Bleu Subway Malaysia.

With over a dozen workshops conducted over the years, our mission remains clear: to promote not just the tools, but the craft, tradition, and appreciation behind them. At Masaru Knives, we’re creating opportunities for people to learn, practice, and truly immerse themselves in this timeless art form.
