The Yu Kurosaki Senko SG2 bunka 165mm is a high-quality Japanese knife handcrafted by the esteemed blacksmith Yu Kurosaki from Echizen, Japan. Renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship, Kurosaki is known for creating knives that are highly regarded among culinary professionals.


The Senko series is distinguished by its star-shaped tsuchime (hammered) finish on the blade, adding both aesthetic appeal and functionality to the knife. The SG2 core steel used in this knife offers outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for professional use in the kitchen.

The knife features an octagonal rosewood handle that provides a comfortable and secure grip, enhancing the knife's overall performance and ease of use. The Bunka blade style, ("K-tip Santoku"), offers a versatile and multipurpose design, making it suitable for various cutting tasks in the kitchen.

(Updated 06/17: We've updated the product page. The remaining stock of this Kurosaki bunka now comes with a custom magnolia saya with an ebony pin.)
