With a hardness rating of 62-63 on the Rockwell scale, the inner core of Blue High Carbon Steel #2 is renowned for its exceptional edge retention. The Kurouchi Series is meticulously finished and polished, surpassing our standard Yoshihiro Kurouchi knives in quality.

From trimming citrus and deveining shrimp to fine garnishes, even the simplest tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
