Yu Kurosaki Kokusen Ei Rosewood Gyuto 21 cm

The Yu Kurosaki Kokusen knives are razor-sharp knives made of Aogami Super steel. This carbon steel is sharper than stainless steel and easier to keep razor sharp. However, the steel must be properly maintained after use because the core steel can rust. Thanks to the 2 stainless steel protective layers, the chance of this happening has been minimized, making it the best of 2 worlds. The knife is finished with a special hammer finish and a tough dark kurouchi. Another top knife from the master!

• Aogami Super Carbon steel (63 Hrc)
• Tsuchime & Kuruchi
• Octagon Handle of rosewood and pakkawood
• Also known as KuroSen

Kukosun Ei Series

Kukosun knives are made from stamped Aogami Super steel (63 Hrc). In this process, the shape is stamped out of forged steel so the blacksmith does not have to forge the knife into shape. The knife is then cold forged, heat treated and sharpened. This saves time and energy, allowing the blacksmith to make more knives per day and thus offer them more cheaply.

Limited supply

Due to its popularity, Yu Kurosaki's knives are always in limited supply. As a master blacksmith, he makes his knives himself and thus cannot outsource the work. In addition, it is difficult for blacksmiths to obtain raw materials. Therefore, we only get a few knives from him every month. So never wait too long to decide because if a knife is sold out it can take up to a year before we have stock again.
