SharpEdge Kuro-Uchi Utility Knife
Japanese Craftsmanship on Full Display
Whether you use it as your main knife or as an edge for smaller jobs, the SharpEdge Kuro-Ichi can handle a variety of tasks—from slicing poultry and chopping vegetables to creating garnishes and separating seeds. Fitted with an octagonal shaped handle made of Japanese walnut wood, the Kuro-Ichi offers a secure grip for both righties and lefties. The blade is just as impressive: Crafted by blacksmith Yoshida Hamono from SUJ-2 steel, it will hold an edge over time. To preserve it, make sure to hand wash the knife and towel it dry when you’re done cutting. The knife gets its name from the unprocessed spine, which will develop a protective patina over time.
Note: Due to the sensitive nature of shipping knives internationally, we can only ship this knife to select countries. It is the responsibility of the buyer to know and comply with all importation regulations and local laws. Click here for additional information.
