Yu Kurosaki - Senko

The Senko range from Yu Kurosaki is a fantastic example of performance meeting artistry. Designed and made in Takefu.

The name "Senko", meaning “flash” or “spark,” is inspired by the knife’s eye-catching hammered tsuchime pattern, which resembles shards of light bursting across the blade. It’s not just for looks either—the finish helps reduce food sticking while adding a unique tactile texture that sets these knives apart.

Beneath the surface beauty lies serious performance. The Senko range features an SG2 powdered stainless steel core, known for its impressive hardness, long-lasting edge retention, and fine grain structure. This allows for a super-sharp edge that holds up to professional use, all while being relatively easy to maintain. Combined with lightweight, balanced construction and Kurosaki’s precise grinds, the Senko series is a top-tier choice for chefs who want both form and function in their kitchen tools.
