Blade Type
The Bunka is your small/medium sized prep solution. If you prefer a slightly shorter blade length but still need to prep veggies and smaller cuts of meat, this is your stop. The angled "K-Tip" allows for finer tip work and can be used to sweep ingredients across the board so you don't dull your edge.
Steel Type
SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.
Care Information
This knife is made with stainless steel and is easy going and low on maintenance. It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.
Introducing
Yu Kurosaki
Yu Kurosaki has become one of Japan’s most celebrated blacksmiths — known for his bold aesthetic choices, cutting-edge techniques, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of traditional knifemaking. Beginning his journey in his teens and apprenticing for 12 years under Hiroshi Kato, Kurosaki established his own forge in 2014 and has since earned recognition from the Japanese government as the youngest ever to be named a Master Blacksmith.
His knives are instantly recognizable for their striking Tsuchime and Suminagashi finishes, thin grinds, and use of high-performance steels such as SG2, HAP40, and stainless-clad Blue Super. Kurosaki’s Fujin series, with its dramatic wind-patterned hammer finish, helped cement his reputation as a blacksmith who blends artistry and technical brilliance in equal measure.
