These are easily some of the most beautiful knives we have at the shop. Made by Master Blacksmith Yu Kurosaki who works out of a newly constructed shop just steps from the Takefu knife village community centre. He began his blacksmith journey in 2002 at Kanehiro and now only 17 short years later he has been awarded his Master Blacksmith designation by the Echizen Blacksmith Foundation. His knives represent the future of Blacksmithing in Japan as he focuses on traditional technique while using innovative and progressive design's and finishes that have garnered the attention of many chef's around the globe. Simply put his knives are stunning to look at and dare we say perform even better than they look.
Knife Care (Stainless Steel)
- Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
- NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
- Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
- Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
- Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.

This was the first Japanese knife I bought. I totally get it now! Just can't believe how sharp these things are! The feel in the hand and the weighting of the knife is so impressive. In fact, I just bought 2 more knives from Sharp Knife Shop. (A Bunka and a Petty) Gage was very helpful in selecting the correct knife to get started with and providing help with selecting sharpening stones and explaining how to use and care for these knives. I enjoyed learning about the knife makers and their traditions in The Sharp Knife Shop's Youtube videos. Lot's of great content to learn on their channel! Gage took good care of the shipping process from Canada to the U.S. After 20 years of enjoying my fine German knives, I no longer even want to pick them up. Thanks guys for bringing me into the Japanese knife culture! CJ
