Kurouchi Black-Forged Blue Steel Series

These knives combine a high-carbon Blue Steel core with stainless cladding and a kurouchi (black-forged) finish. The Blue Steel edge is keen and long-lasting, the stainless jacket makes care easier, and the dark forge scale on the upper blade gives each knife a rugged, handmade look.

The series includes gyuto, nakiri, petty, petty-kiritsuke, utility kiritsuke, honesuki and sujihiki-kiritsuke, with ebony and shitan handles. They are a great choice for cooks moving up to carbon steel. See also Stainless Clad High-Carbon Knives.
