Our Traditional Kurouchi Stainless Clad Knife redefines the boundaries of modern metallurgy while preserving the time-honored techniques of Japanese forging. Unlike typical Kurouchi knives made from highly reactive carbon steel, this exceptional blade features a Kurouchi finish on its stainless cladding—an innovative and rare achievement in knife craftsmanship.

Kurouchi, meaning "Black-Forged," bestows the knife with its distinct, unpolished rustic aesthetic. The blade is enveloped in two layers of full Kurouchi stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and protection without compromising the razor-sharp edge you expect from a premium knife.

At its core, the Blue Steel #2 provides a Rockwell hardness of 63-64, celebrated for its remarkable edge retention. This ensures that your knife remains sharp through countless preparations, effortlessly slicing through even the toughest ingredients. The stainless cladding adds a layer of moisture resistance, making this knife not only durable but also easy to maintain.

Complementing the blade is a handcrafted Octagonal Kaede wood handle, designed for comfort and balance, suitable for both left and right-handed users. Each knife comes with a Lacquered Magnolia wood Saya cover for safe and stylish storage. Whether you're dicing, slicing, or chopping fresh produce from the market or preparing a roast chicken, this Kurouchi knife elevates even the simplest culinary tasks, combining beauty and functionality in a single, handcrafted piece.
