Yu Kurosaki Senko Sg2 Ei Sujihiki 240mm with Walnut Handle
Introducing the masterpiece from the renowned blacksmith, Yu Kurosaki - the SENKO-EI Sujihiki. This knife is not just a tool; it's a work of art, a testament to Kurosaki's unparalleled craftsmanship and innovative design philosophy.
The Artistry of Yu Kurosaki
Yu Kurosaki, based in Takefu, Japan, is celebrated for his intricate forged tsuchime patterns that set his creations apart. His knives are not just sharp; they are a blend of tradition, innovation, and artistry. The SENKO-EI series, in particular, showcases a sharp-pointed design, reminiscent of "EI (sharp)" or "EIJIN (sharp knife)" in Japanese. The shimmering surface, adorned with a unique hammered texture, evokes the imagery of vibrant fireworks or "SENKO".
What is SENKO EI?
"Senko" translates to a flash of lightning in Japanese. The SENKO Ei, with its Tsuchime hammered pattern and lightning flash motif, is both a visual and functional marvel. Crafted using R2/SG2 steel, it promises an edge that's not just sharp but enduring. The stainless cladding ensures easy maintenance and resistance to corrosion.
Caution
Given its delicate nature, the knife demands care. Avoid using it on frozen food, crusty bread, bones, or any action that might torque the blade.
