Crafted from VG10 stainless steel, the Kurokage range from Sakai Takayuki have a distinct look and ample cutting ability. Grind is middle level, not too thin to overly worry, but not too thick as to affect cutting performance too much.
This is a high contender as a first Japanese knife, easy to maintain and a very cool aesthetic.

I have built a very strong relationship with ProTooling. Paul (the owner) has a very good attitude and that reflects in the products he stands behind. He provides only the best quality through all of the good relationships he has been able to grow throughout the years with the top craftsmen in Japan. He and his staff are amazing. Keep up the good work.
