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 Fujin series, is 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use.
