The new Fujin series of knives from one of our most loved blacksmiths takes knife aesthetics to a new level. These are stunning blades in every regard.
Yu Kurosaki makes several different lines of knives under his own name. They have many things in common, including some of the best blade finishes in the business. From the frosty look of his Shimo line to the stunning hammered finishes on the Megumi and R2 Hammered blades, Yu Kurosaki has found a huge following of chefs, home cooks and knife lovers worldwide. Now he brings another revolutionary look to kitchen cutlery with these amazing looking Fujin knives.
Kurosaki is particularly adept in his treatment of select steels. In the case of the Fujin series he chooses to work with VG-10 and Aogami Super and has done a remarkable job with these alloys. He takes the VG-10 used on this knife to 61 HRC which is about average for the steel. The stainless steel cladding has a damascus finish which looks great and helps protect the inner VG-10 core.
The edge profile is fairly flat with some nice curvature toward the tip. The knife is beautifully thin behind the edge, and as with all of his knives, edge sharpness out of the box is stellar.
These stunning knives are a wonderful addition to his line-up, and we believe they will become some of his most popular.Blacksmith: Yu Kurosaki

2 review(s) WRITE A REVIEW (Reviews are subject to approval) An excellent knife, true craftsmanship., August 19, 2019Posted By: Sean Gately
This is a fantastic knife, out of the box you see the craftsmanship in each tiny detail. Allot of people are hesitant on this knife because it's Aogami Super (AS) brother is the same price, if not in stock because of popularity. The VG-10 version comes amazingly sharp, and if you're into the shiny polished look (like me) this knife cannot go wrong. I'll update my review after using it for awhile but I'm guessing Master Kurosaki works wonders with all steels and this will maintain and edge for while. If not, I have my trusty Kangaroo leather knife strop to sharpen it up.

This is a great all around knife. We researched heavily over which knife to get made from which steel and finally decided on this one. Such a great knife. Everything stated in the video review is spot on. Our knife was not nearly as flashy as how it appears in the video. To us, that was a huge bonus. It gets extremely sharp, it cuts through everything like it's butter, and has done a great job holding its edge so far. Looking forward to putting it through the paces, but so far we couldn't be happier.
