Yu Kurosaki’s knives are made using the traditional Echizen Uchihamono technique of two sheets of steel together, which is thinner than one sheet of steel and allows for a greater number of strikes, resulting in a high and lasting sharpness.
The hammered pattern, which is a characteristic of Yu Kurosaki’s knives, is created by hammering on the surface of the blade to create a unique unevenness that expresses a fierce look.
This design is especially popular among people outside of Japan. In addition to the design, the uneven surface also serves to prevent food from sticking to the knife when it is cut, allowing you to continue slicing efficiently.
Kurosaki Uchihamono knives are carefully made one by one with the desire to please those who will use them.
They are designed to be enjoyed by both those who cook and those who watch them, and are made with a high level of sharpness and sustainability in mind.
