Crafted in Echizen Japan by master blacksmith Shiro Kamo, the AS Kurouchi series represent outstanding value for such a high performance hand forged knife.
These knives are stainless clad carbon but the kurouchi finish on the stainless cladding does have a reactive element and will change in use, much like core 10.

- * The kurouchi (black) finish on top of the stainless cladding is reactive. There is an iron particle within and rust can form on the black finish. It is not on the steel underneath in our experience but will change the look.

* As our Japanese chef knives are hand-made (some with natural materials like timber), small variation to size and colour may occur.
* The carbon steel edge on this knife does require some care to prevent rust. It will change colour (patina) in use.
