Yu Kurosaki Senko SG2 Ei Bunka
Yu Kurosaki, a visionary craftsman from Echizen, Fukui Prefecture in Japan, brings forth the exquisite Senko SG2 Ei Bunka knife. This piece not only embodies the traditional art of Japanese blacksmithing but also infuses modern aesthetics and functionality.
Renowned for his daring approach to knife making, Kurosaki combines traditional techniques with contemporary designs. This Bunka knife, known for its versatility, showcases a unique blend of elegance and efficiency.
The blade, a work of art, features a striking hammered tsuchime finish alongside a kyomen, mirror-like polish. This not only adds to the aesthetic but also contributes to the knife's non-stick properties. The R2/SG2 core steel, known for its exceptional edge retention and durability, ensures a long-lasting, sharp edge.
What sets this knife apart is its handle – a beautiful combination of Wenge and Ebony wood, shaped into an octagonal Hachikaku style. The handle is complemented with a kuchiwa of Black Buffalo Horn or Green Pakka Wood, offering a comfortable and secure grip.
