Blade Type

The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.

Steel Type

Hand-forged from advanced VG-XEOS stainless steel in the prestigious Takefu Knife Village, this knife embodies modern Japanese craftsmanship. Its fine-grained steel offers outstanding stain resistance and a perfect harmony of cutting performance and refined aesthetics.

It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture. 

Introducing

Yu Kurosaki

Yu Kurosaki has become one of Japan’s most celebrated blacksmiths — known for his bold aesthetic choices, cutting-edge techniques, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of traditional knifemaking. Beginning his journey in his teens and apprenticing for 12 years under Hiroshi Kato, Kurosaki established his own forge in 2014 and has since earned recognition from the Japanese government as the youngest ever to be named a Master Blacksmith.

His knives are instantly recognizable for their striking Tsuchime and Suminagashi finishes, thin grinds, and use of high-performance steels such as SG2, HAP40, and stainless-clad Blue Super. Kurosaki’s Fujin series, with its dramatic wind-patterned hammer finish, helped cement his reputation as a blacksmith who blends artistry and technical brilliance in equal measure.
