The 270mm Fujin is the most commanding knife in the Kurosaki lineup at CKTG - 272mm of blade, 56mm of height, and the driving rain tsuchime finish that makes the Fujin line immediately recognizable. This is the format for professional cooks and serious home cooks who want every advantage that a long blade provides: single-stroke pulls through whole salmon fillets, authority through large roasts and proteins, and the surface area for full-board slicing that shorter knives cannot provide. Yu Kurosaki trained under Hiroshi Kato in Echizen and over more than 20 years developed the convex grind and SG2 heat treatment that make the Fujin gyutos some of the most consistently praised in the catalog.
SG2 stainless at the listed HRC holds a keen edge through the extended demands that a 270mm knife encounters in professional use. The convex grind at this blade length produces exceptional food release across the full surface. The driving rain tsuchime cladding is both functional - reducing food adhesion - and visual, catching light across the large blade face in a way that makes the knife as satisfying to look at as it is to use. Rosewood octagonal handle with black pakka wood ferrule. Laser engraved. CKTG was among the first international accounts to carry Kurosaki knives - a relationship built over more than a decade.
Care Instructions: SG2 is fully stainless and low maintenance. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Use wood or rubber cutting boards. Avoid bones and frozen foods. Sharpen on quality water stones with consistent angle and light pressure. Strop regularly between sharpenings.
