Kurosaki Wenge 170mm Santoku

170 Santoku By Kurosaki

Kurosaki san has created a classical santoku that is useful for a variety of tasks from slicing and dicing to chopping.

• Hammer forged from clad R2 powder steel
• Wenge hardwood handles
• Could probably win the next season of X-factor for good looks alone
• Kurosaki san's signature random textured finish is highly polished to help with release of food
• Sharpened to a v-bevel for ease of re-sharpening
• An ultra sharp cutting experience

Kurosaki Knives

Previously in the employ of Master Blacksmith Kato of Masakage fame, Kurosaki san has been making knives for the last 13 years and last year made the move to become independent. Describing himself as “not a natural blacksmith” he has worked hard at perfecting his art under the hand of his master for 12 years. 

Kurosaki-san is committed to creating practical knives that are also a thing of beauty.

Chef's Armoury are the official importer of Kurosaki kitchen knives in Australia.

Note: The handles are made from natural wood and will vary in grain and colour.

Knife care for stainless steel knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
