He started forging as a teenager, spent 12 years training under master blacksmith Hiroshi Kato, and opened his own forge in 2014. Since then, he's become one of Japan's most celebrated bladesmiths, earning recognition from the Japanese government as the youngest person ever to be named a Master Blacksmith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKurosaki-san is committed to creating practical knives that are also a thing of beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e......\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The handles are made from natural wood and will vary in grain and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"95%\" summary=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSantoku\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e315mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e178gm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTang\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePin tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHRC (hardness)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61-62\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR2 clad in stainless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50:50 V bevel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaya\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chefs Armoury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49214377984259,"sku":"KUSEBR165SA","price":338.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/6397\/files\/kurosaki-brass-r2-165-santoku.jpg?v=1783340518"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.chefsarmoury.com\/collections\/japanese-knife-warehouse-sale\/moriguchi.oembed","provider":"Chef's Armoury","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
