Koyanagi's Blue Steel No. 1 Kurouchi is created with high-grade steel and a Buffalo Ebony Handle for the perfect balance between sophistication and durability. This knife is the perfect choice for aspiring chefs and cooking enthusiasts.

The Japanese word "Ko" means “small” or “short” in English, and the Ko-yanagi is a small Yanagiba¥ that is commonly used to fillet and slice small fish, particularly Aji (Japanese horse mackerel). The Ko-yanagi is useful knife for home cooks that prefer to clean and fillet the smaller sizes of fish themselves.

Aogami No.1 steel is a pure steel with fewer impurities than normal steel, and has the characteristic of being able to produce a much stronger hardness than Aogami No.2 steel. It is the best choice for those who are in the main profession, as well as for those who are looking for better sharpness and longevity of the blade.

Kurouchi Finish, the unprocessed (black) part on the top side of the blade has already developed a dark patina, which protects the blade and gives it a traditional Japanese look.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
