Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Matsuzaki Venus so expensive?
The Venus is hand-finished by Matsuzaki's most senior Seki City craftsmen using a proprietary premium alloy. Each pair is made to order with extremely limited production, and the hand-finishing process alone takes significantly longer than standard models. The price reflects decades of accumulated bladesmithing expertise, exclusive materials, and the labour-intensive nature of the build.
