Japanese knifemaker Kansei Matsuno is a true master of his craft and his designs undoubtedly have a style all their own. He has been designing and manufacturing knives since 1996, and just one year later he was able to exhibit them for the first time at the Seki Outdoor Knife Show. The skilful combination of Japanese style elements with the features of modern pocket knives impressed us right away. The mostly slim design and lightweight constructions, together with the straightforward design and classic Japanese blades, make for exceedingly elegant knives for everyday use.
