The KURO series is a heavy ironclad knife that feels substantial in the hand. This new version of our most popular KURO series has a Blue #2 Carbon edge with soft black iron cladding provides a distinctive look as the final layer of iron has an oxide coating to help prevent rust. We have added an Iishi (Yew) handle to compliment the new version and the handle is smooth and warm. Heavy and solid, these knives are heavy duty workhorses. 

Hand engraved with the Kikuichi chrysanthemum logo.

Blade 3 Layers Hand Forged
Edge Blue #2 Carbon Steel
Layers Iron with Oxide Coating
HRC 62
Bevel Double
Bevel Angle Ratio 50:50

Iichi wood

CAUTION: All Carbon steel blades will patina through regular use and will easily rust if left wet. This is not a defect, it is a product of the material that comes with carbon steel's ability to take a finer edge, which is why it is preferred by many chefs. This is NOT a stainless steel.

Disappointing craftsmanship / customer service

After debating a year to buy this knife I made the purchase and was disappointed in the overall craftsmanship quality. There are poor joints at all material transitions for $440 dollar knife. In particular there is a lip between the handle and the ferrule that is large enough to cause annoyance when using.

I immediately contacted Kikuichi and after a week have received no response.

Disappointed with overall craftsmanship and customer service.

Excellent knife!

Love the aesthetics of this knife. Used it for the first time last night prepping vegetables for dinner. The weight of the knife, edge, and shape all felt great while dicing onions. Really happy with the purchase and the quality.
