Yu Kurosaki Senko Ei (閃光 銳) SG2/R2 Sujihiki 240mm, with K&S signature teakwood handle and black horn ferrule.
Senko Ei is the latest SG2 line from the young talented blacksmith Yu Kurosaki San, after the huge success of his earlier Shizuku SG2 line.
The dazzling hammer imprints on the polished stainless cladding resembles diamond pattern and is where the Senko (translated as "shine") comes from.
Compared to the Shizuku line, Senko is forged to be even thinner and more aggressive.
Therefore, if you are looking for a knife that is with ultimate sharpness/performance, and willing to take more care of it, this will be the knife.
