Miura’s new KM-008 forged putter
Miura is best known for its high-end forged irons and wedges, but the company also makes upscale putters using the same forging process. The KM-008, with a suggested retail of $450, is Miura’s newest release in its line of putters.
In 2014, the company retired its KM-350 (Small Blade) putter, one of Miura’s “most popular putters ever,” according to the company. Since then, master craftsmen and company founder Katsuhiro Miura has been working on a new model — the KM-008 — which is now available to the public.
The KM-008 is forged from soft carbon steel, and has a milled face with a chrome finish. It has a slight offset, and uses a toe-weighted design for performance benefits.
See what GolfWRX members are saying about Miura’s new putter.
[quote_box_center]”This toe-weighted beauty confirms that it’s possible to match looks with performance,” says Bill Holowaty, Miura’s Executive Vice President of Product Strategies. “The milled face is extremely forgiving and produces a strike that transmits to the feel, distance control and in achieving the trust of rolls from reduced skid.”[/quote_box_center]
KM-008 stock putters are 350 grams, have 3 degrees of loft and a 72-degree lie angle. They’re available in right-handed only.

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.Â

I have a Miura km006 that I bought used off ebay for $250. Best $250 I ever spent! People here in the states think that Scotty’s are still the best around and are willing to cough up $300+ for their mass produced putters (or $2000+ if it has a stamped circle ‘t’ on it). I implore you folks to expand your horizons and buy a miura putter on the secondary market. You will not believe how soft and gushy these putters are. I get that not everyone can afford one, but if you’re going to spend $100-$150 on a putter already, save an extra couple of months to buy a miura.

2015 top end prices for a 1940s putter. If you buy this you have more money than sense. Get an old 8802 or 8813 and save yourself a mint.

It’s a forged putter.
Not a lot of forged putters out there.
Hattori Hanzo steel. 🙂

Definitely resembles a George Low putter. I’d be interested if it was $175. I’d want to try it out first. Jack did pretty good with a putter like this!

I refuse to knock on anyone who wants to spend their hard earned money on what ever they want to spend it on. However, putters and the price they are these days are a little out their. But God Bless America because we can spend our money on stuff like this.

Watches, cars, shoes, it’s all the same to each is own…sometimes the people look past the price tag because of infatuation with product. I’m guilty of it. At least all of the above, yet to get a watch.

Garbage!! You can teach stupid…..it’s called paying any more than $200. For a putter.
Just ridiculous!!

Would you pay 300+ for a new driver? Last I checked we use our putters many many more times a round than a driver.

Not really liking the looks of this blade….but still better looking than a two-ball mallet or any mallet for that matter.

Missing some alignment lines/dots. I like the old school form but the face looks like my old cheap Bay Hill putter I have in the office. Not impressed with pricing unless they provide some customization regarding shaft, grip and head cover. I see you get the cover with it but is the shaft/grip extra charge :-/

Miura want us to spend $450 on a raw putter. My question is why? I’m not enough convinced.

Hey, their irons are nice. This? It looks like a Fred Flintstone special… I guess it’s nice that it was milled, but this looks very raw, very subject to wear quickly, and appears very… unrefined. It’s almost the opposite of what I’d imagine for Miura.

Their putters are beautiful in person. Very precise milling, and just clean work. I guess they just take a few extra steps after coming out of cnc to make perfect. May look aged in a few years, but simple design will look good until 2057;)
