Profile
Kurosaki 240 Gyuto
A very rare 240 gyuto that was made in super low quantities.
Houou Series
This range is officially discontinued so when this knife is gone, it is gone forever.
Forged from VG10 that has been fused with copper and bronze, this stunning blade is matched with a horse chestnut handle.
Kurosaki Knives
There are knife makers. There are great knife makers. And then there's Yu Kurosaki, who looked at centuries of Japanese tradition and thought, "Right... let's see how much further we can take this." The result is some of the most striking kitchen knives you'll ever see—bold, beautifully finished, and made with an almost obsessive attention to detail. 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. Not bad for someone whose day job is hitting red-hot steel with a hammer.
Kurosaki-san is committed to creating practical knives that are also a thing of beauty.
