Inspired by the Legacy of Masamune

Masamune (1264–1343), Japan’s most celebrated swordsmith, shaped blades so refined they became symbols of loyalty, protection, and mastery. His legacy endures not just in museums and legend, but in every craftsman who forges steel with patience and spirit.

This set carries that same philosophy forward, melding artistry with daily utility.
