Description

The balance point is right at the heel on this 150mm Petty, which makes for a comfortable pinch grip. The handle is made this time of oak and water-resistant wenge wood, which are separated from each other by a ring of natural turquoise. Raijin, the Japanese god of thunder is the inspiration Kurosaki-san used for the hand hammered pattern on these blades; evoking a "crack!" of lightning. Folds of Damascus steel play in contrast with that unique texture creating a stunning look. With a core of high quality Cobalt Special Steel that is able to take and hold an extremely sharp edge. Cobalt Special is registered trademark of Takefu Special Steel Co Ltd. It is super high grade steel, it containing lots of cobalt. The edge retention and the sharpness are better than VG10 which has good reputation in the world.

Yu Kurosaki

Yu Kurosaki (黒崎 優) is one of the most famous and popular modern Japanese smiths. He has received numerous awards for his kitchen knives. Yu Kurosaki began making knives as a teenager. From the age of 23, he was an apprentice to the famous master Hiroshi Kato.

In 2014, Kurosaki opened his own workshop. His unique knife-making skills combined with an innovative approach have earned him recognition both in Japan and abroad. Yu Kurosaki's workshop is located in the city of Echizen, a historical center of knife production. Yu Kurosaki is especially distinguished by his mastery of Tsuchime finishing. This is the art of hand-chasing patterns on a soft facing to enhance the aesthetic value of the blade. This painstaking process is often found in Japanese art and craft and requires a high level of skill and concentration.

Each series of Yu Kurosaki knives: Fujin, Senko or Shizuku has its own unique Tsuchime pattern. Please note that master Kurosaki uses different handles for his collections from batch to batch. This means that the same series of knives made at different times may have different handles.
