Made in Japan.
The KURO series is a heavy ironclad knife that feels substantial in the hand. This new version of our most popular KURO series has a Blue #2 Carbon edge with soft black iron cladding provides a distinctive look as the final layer of iron has an oxide coating to help prevent rust. We have added an Iishi (Yew) handle to compliment the new version and the handle is smooth and warm. Heavy and solid, these knives are heavy duty workhorses.
