Yu Kurosaki (黒崎 優)

A Master from Takefu Village, Echizen

a talented artisan in his forties, has quickly risen to prominence as one of Japan's leading knife makers, garnering top awards and widespread recognition for his hand-forged knives, particularly for his distinctive Tsuchime and Suminagashi finishes.

With the discontinuation of the Shizuku and Fujin series, high-carbon steel Kurosaki knives became nearly impossible to find. In May 2024, Yu Kurosaki himself  has reintroduced high-carbon steel kitchen knives with the Aogami Super, once again filling the gap in this specialised niche.

Featuring the same silhouette as the SG2 Senko series and the familiar Tsuchime pattern, these knives now come with a kurouchi surface finish.

Thanks to their sanmai construction, the Aogami Super steel core is sandwiched between layers of stainless steel. This design means that most of the knife's surface, except for the exposed core, is resistant to rust, making it much easier to maintain compared to other high-carbon steel knives. This feature makes these knives an excellent choice for those interested in trying high-carbon steel without the typical concerns about rust.

Please note : 

This is a high carbon steel blade therefore it has the potential to rust if is not take care properly. 

Please make sure the knife is kept dry after usage and during storage and apply a layer of oil every time after using it. The blade will change its colour due to oxidation and also after in contacting with acid. This is perfectly normal and we often called this is patina.
