The Yu Kurosaki Fujin SG2 turquoise 15cm all-purpose Japanese knife embodies the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. Inspired by Fujin, the god of wind in Japanese mythology, this model features the spectacular hammering characteristic of the Fujin series, evoking the movement of wind on steel. This is more than just a kitchen knife: it's a high-precision tool, at once technical, aesthetic and of remarkable finishing quality.
This top-of-the-range all-purpose knife is ideal for precision cutting of fruit, vegetables, small meats and fish. Its compact 15cm blade combines agility and cutting power, with a cutting edge as durable as it is spectacular.
This knife is forged in the typical Japanese San Maï structure, with a core of SG2 steel(also known as R2). This Japanese powdered steel contains around 1.3% carbon, enabling it to achieve an exceptional hardness of 63 HRC. This level of hardness ensures outstanding edge retention, while retaining excellent sharpening capacity.
SG2 steel is renowned for its ultra-precise cutting results, even on delicate foods. It is also inexorably stainless, making it an ideal hybrid alloy for intensive use in the kitchen. This rigid core is protected by two layers of softer stainless steel, to enhance the blade's overall strength without sacrificing its finesse.
The emblematic Fujin hammering, handcrafted by Yu Kurosaki, has more than just a decorative purpose: it reduces the adherence of food to the blade, facilitating fluid, clean and rapid gestures. This spectacular pattern is specific to each knife, giving each piece its own unique visual identity.
The blade'sflat cutting edge completes the picture, ensuring consistent, linear insertion into the food, for clean, precise cuts every day.
The handle of the Fujin SG2 knife is made from solid ebony, a dense black wood renowned for its resistance to moisture, shock and torsion. Noble ebony is soft to the touch and has a deep appearance, giving the knife a strong, luxurious character.
Carved in a traditional Japanese octagonal shape, the handle provides a comfortable grip, whether you're left- or right-handed. This profile ensures perfect control, even with prolonged use.
Between the handle and bolster is a decorative ring of natural turquoise, a rare mineral carefully polished and fitted by hand. As with the wood, each stone is unique in its hue and marbling, making each knife literally inimitable. It also reinforces the knife's overall balance by adding a touch of precious color to this already exceptional piece.
This exceptional, handcrafted knife deserves the care it deserves. Hand-wash only, with a soft sponge and neutral soap. Dry immediately after use to avoid any traces of moisture. Never put in the dishwasher. Store the knife in its box, a case or a magnetic bar, away from shocks. To preserve its razor-sharp edge, sharpen the blade with a Japanese stone suitable for SG2 steel.
Yu Kurosaki is one of the most prominent blacksmiths of his generation. Based at Takefu Knife Village in Japan's Fukui prefecture, he has developed an instantly recognizable style that blends absolute technical mastery, spectacular patterns and impeccable finishing.
