Yu Kurosaki rose to fame with this Kurouchi Aogami Super line a few year ago. Enthusiasts around the world were pleasently surprised to discover that a young, taletned blacksmith coming from Echizen. His knife is nimble, light, and super thin behind the edge. Kurosaki's knife is also artistically elegant, thanks to his unique hammering patterns. This KU AS line features his famous Shizuku pattern.
I am very happy to offer them to my fellow K&S customers.
