The Classic Series MK-III. A western-bellied daily workhorse.

The Classic Series MK-III takes the proven MK-III blade profile from the Signature Series and pairs it with carefully considered materials and finishing choices, creating a more accessible knife with no compromise on the performance that matters. Built as a dependable daily workhorse, it delivers exceptional cutting performance, durability and value.

The Blade

The blade is made from 80CrV2 carbon steel, chosen for its toughness, excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening. It draws on a more western blade shape while keeping a Japanese-style geometry, with a little more belly to the profile for an easy rock motion in use. A flat heel paired with a rounded front section gives sweeping, controlled cuts and excellent board contact. At 200mm long with a generous 58mm heel height tapering to an extremely fine point, the blade offers excellent precision for detailed work while keeping a confident, purposeful presence.

The Handle

The handle is a traditional wa-style handle in ebony and rosewood. Simple, elegant and comfortable in use, it gives excellent balance and control while complementing the blade's clean, functional design. The natural character of the wood means every knife carries its own subtle individuality.

What's Included

Each knife is supplied with a branded saya, wrapped in linen and presented in a branded cardboard box. Dispatched using a 24 hour age verification service.

Care

Forged from carbon steel, the MK-III will develop a natural patina with use. Keep it clean, dry and lightly oiled. See our Knife Care page for the full routine.
