Few knives have Tsuchime as mesmerizing as Yu Kurosaki. Inspired by the Japanese God of Thunder "Raijin" (雷神), the hand-hammered Kurosaki "Raijin" pattern transforms loud thunders into a visually stunning pattern. The Jigane is then almost mirror-polished, to create this fascinating theatre of mirror-reflecting geometries. With one of the most striking looks on a knife, this gyuto is hand-forged with Cobalt Special core steel, and heat-treated to 64 HRC for superb edge retention. The beautifully smooth grind and superb thinness behind the edge enable superb cutting smoothness.

About Yu Kurosaki 黒崎 優

A young artisan in his forties, Yu Kurosaki has become one of leading knife makers in Japan, winning top awards and attention for his hand-forged knives especially his Tsuchime finish. Inheriting over 700 years of knife making skills from previous generations of Echizen artisans, Mr Kurosaki has focused his career on making knives that give unforgettable impressions and incredible cutting pleasures. Yu's unique Tsuchime design, as seen in his Shizuku and Raijin series, are not only aesthetically magnificent but also incredibly functional when it comes to making food less likely to stick to blades. Today, Yu's works, hand made in small batches, have become so popular overseas that his top knives like the ones featured in Burrfection Store are increasingly hard to come by.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Love this product very convenient
Color: Silver, Size: Medium
This was great to keep all my brushes, cloth, detergent and scrubby together and neat. I love the drainage and it looks clean. The only thing I don't care for is the bar that holds the cloth comes off all the time. Other than that it is great.

Cute soap and sponge caddy
Color: Black
Good product! I like how the water drips down into the sink. Instead of on the back of the sink. Helps keep the area cleaner and dry.

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye
Color: Black
This product is a good organizer for the song it serves its purpose. However I wish the tray that catches the water would stay in place. It is constantly moving and doesn’t always tilt to allow the water to flow down properly. The quality of the basket is good. It is easy to keep clean. It was super easy to assemble did not require any special tools. So far so good it is withstanding being wet all the time and I do not see any rust or deterioration or fading of the color in the two months I’ve had it. This sink organizer is modern and adds a nice aesthetic to my kitchen.
