The Matsato editions

Matsato Classic and Osuren share a hammered finish, curved blade profile and signature finger hole. The separate listings need to stay distinct: a dimension stated for one offer is not evidence for another.

  • Classic: The brand-store listing specifies a 5.8-inch blade, 11-inch overall length, 176 g weight and roasted beechwood handle, with a listed item price of $29.99 in the September 21, 2026 check.
  • Osuren offer linked here: This product page describes a handle combining pakka and acacia wood; its blade length is not established, with a single-knife item price of $49.99 in the September 21, 2026 check.
  • Separate brand-store Osuren listing: This listing specifies a 6.3-inch blade, 10.6-inch overall length, 180 g weight and beechwood handle, at a listed item price of $39.99 in the September 21, 2026 check.

Match the details to the offer

Osuren listings do not all show the same blade and handle specifications. The table identifies the listing behind each description, so match the details to the offer you select.

Our purchase link opens the Osuren offer whose blade length is not established in the retrieved product page. The Classic is a separate listing. Compare the model name, blade dimensions and handle description when choosing between them.

Blade length and handle preference

The dated Classic record and separate brand-store Osuren listing describe blades shorter than an 8-inch-class chef knife. The linked Osuren offer has no established blade length, so confirm that dimension before deciding whether its reach suits your food and board.

The hammered finish and finger hole are shared design features. Grip preference is personal, so use the dimensions and product photos to compare the outline and handle. For the 8-inch Victorinox alternative with a synthetic handle, see our Matsato vs Victorinox comparison.

Pack options and order details

In the September 21, 2026 check, the Osuren offer linked here listed one knife for $49.99, two for $69.98 and four for $99.96, before additional checkout charges. Choose the quantity you need, then confirm the final total and applicable order terms.

Choosing your edition

Choose Classic if its listed 5.8-inch blade and roasted beechwood handle match your preferences. Consider the linked Osuren offer if its pakka-and-acacia handle styling appeals, but obtain its blade dimensions before making a size-based decision. Match the details to the specific listing before ordering.
