Selected Kurouchi Black Forged Knife Series

Yoshihiro Kurouchi Black-Forged Knife Series High Carbon White Steel and Blue Steel Stainless Clad

Kurouchi, or black-forged, knives keep the dark forge scale on the upper blade, giving each one a rustic, handmade look. This selection gathers kurouchi knives with high-carbon White Steel #2 and stainless clad Blue Steel cores, both known for keen, easily sharpened edges.

It includes gyuto, petty, petty-kiritsuke, nakiri and paring knives with camphor and ebony handles. Wipe the blades dry after use. See also the Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Series.
