Hand-forged knives made by the Japanese master smith Yu Kurosaki. Distinct traces of hammering adorn the upper part of the triple-layered blade, giving it excellent purchase as it moves through material while and also producing an attractive look. The cutting core is made of rustproof SG-2 steel. This is one of the hardest steels used in kitchen knives worldwide and manufactured using powder metallurgy techniques. This hard steel is enclosed within two softer layers of rustproof steel to ensure stability. An octagonal sandalwood handle with a black laminated wood ferrule adds the finishing touches to the perfect knife. Signed, rustproof blade, double-bevelled, hardened to 63 HRC.
