Yu Kurosaki - Senko

Our in-depth range review

First Impressions

Excellent sharpness right out of the box as you'd expect from Kurosaki and the SG2 core steel retains an edge very well so this knife will perform when you need it.

Beauty

Just look at it! It's stunning! Every blade is unique, the stainless cladding has a wonderful variety of hammer finished markings that resemble a collection of diamonds embedded along the cladding.

The Senko range is available with a range of handles including a traditional wa handle and assorted custom designs and materials.

In Hand

This is a classic Japanese knife with a half tang and lightweight octagonal wa handle so it's typically nimble and comfortable in use.

Durability

The stainless SG2 steel core clad in stainless is both sharp and durable and edge retention will be excellent. 

Ease of Care & Maintenance Tips

The Senko is easy to look after, both core and cladding steel are stainless so our normal storage and care instructions apply but this is a knife that's going to perform and look great for many years.

Our Verdict

Kurosaki san has once again created something that marries performance, durability and a beautiful design that is recognisably his own and this is a knife you'll be reaching for time and again for many years.

Yu Kurosaki

Yu Kurosaki is one of Japan’s most celebrated modern blacksmiths, known for combining bold design with the refined precision of traditional Echizen craftsmanship. Born in Fukui Prefecture, he began his apprenticeship in 2002 under master craftsman Hiroshi Kato at Takefu Knife Village, a collective dedicated to preserving the ancient art of Echizen Uchihamono. After years of intensive training, Kurosaki became the youngest smith in the region to be recognized as a Certified Traditional Craftsman of Echizen.

His knives are admired for their exceptional sharpness, durability, and unique hammered finishes that blend artistic expression with technical performance. From the Shizuku and R2 Senko series to the VG XEOS Gekko line and his work with other brands like Masakage, each blade reflects Kurosaki’s mastery of advanced steels, attention to balance, and commitment to creating tools that are as beautiful as they are functional.
