Ground beautifully towards the edge, the jigane including the entire tsuchime pattern is then polished to a mirror-like effect before exposing the SG2 steel core, which is heat-treated to 63 HRC with superior edge retention. Behind the edge is extremely thin with beautiful tapering, ensuring superb cutting smoothness. Blades in Kurosaki's \"Senko-Ei\" series feature a slightly more pointed tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin (Made in): Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Yu Kurosaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCraftsman: Yu Kurosaki\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife Type: Petty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: San Mai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: Double-edged Blade (50\/50 Grind)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHagane (Core Steel): R2\/SG2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJigane (Cladding): Stainless Steel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 63 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-sharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finishes:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignature Tsuchime (Hammered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKyomen (Mirror) Like\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 130mm (5.1\") \/ 150mm (5.9\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Height (at heel): 29mm \/ 34mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpine Thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbove heel: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2.1mm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e2.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2.0mm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e2.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"spec_sublist\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Hachikaku (Octagonal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Ebony \/ Wenge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKuchiwa: Green Pakka Wood \/ Black Buffalo Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 120mm \/ 120mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 268mm \/ 287mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 85g (3.00oz) \/ 90g (3.17oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngraved Mark: In Japanese Kanji \"\u003cem\u003eKurosaki Yu\u003c\/em\u003e\" (黒崎 優)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Yu Kurosaki 黒崎 優\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA young artisan in his forties, Yu Kurosaki has become one of leading knife makers in Japan, winning top awards and attention for his hand-forged knives especially his Tsuchime finish. Inheriting over 700 years of knife making skills from previous generations of Echizen artisans, Mr Kurosaki has focused his career on making knives that give unforgettable impressions and incredible cutting pleasures. Yu's unique Tsuchime design, as seen in his Shizuku and Fujin series, are not only aesthetically magnificent but also incredibly functional when it comes to making food less likely to stick to blades. Today, Yu's works, hand made in small batches, have become so popular overseas that his top knives like the ones featured in Burrfection Store are increasingly hard to come by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use.
