Yu Kurosaki is an extremely talented blacksmith who works independently in the Takefu Knife Village. Every day he tries to implement new techniques and modern steels in his production process, and the result of these efforts are truly unique blades.

The Fujin series is made up of stunningly beautiful knives, where the hammer finish is designed to evoke the feeling of the wind movement of the Fujin God combined with the subtle exposed tapering of the SG2 steel core all the way to the blade. These features truly make Fujin series knives high performance pieces of art.

SG2 is a stainless powder steel manufactured by Takefu Special Steel Company in Takefu, Japan. It is, in our eyes, the ultimate combination of sharpness retention, stainless properties and ease of sharpening. Having approximately the same amount of carbon as high carbon steels such as white and blue, but also more stainless elements than VG10, knives made from this steel are the best option.

Bunka is a universal Japanese knife shape that impresses every user with its elegance and functionality. The flat Santoku knife-like blade profile makes the Bunka ideal for chopping vegetables, and the specifically shaped and accentuated tip gives it the universality of a Gyuto knife, especially when it comes to processing proteins. It could be said that this knife represents an ideal combination of both mentioned forms.

The traditional octagonal handle made of precious rosewood, which is also known as rosewood, fits perfectly in the hand and will retain its original, authentic appearance over time.

After use, wash the knife by hand with lukewarm water and dry it.
Store the knife in a safe place where it will not collide with other utensils.
