Makoto Kurosaki SG2 Sakura Tsuchime Nakiri 165mm
About Makoto Kurosaki -Ā
While Makoto-san makes several lines, they all sport a clean, crisp aesthetics with laser-like performance. If youāre used to Western knives, the first thing youāll notice about your knife from Makoto-san is just how light it feels. Despite this, you donāt need force to make it go, as the Japanese-style handle puts almost all the weight into the blade
Makoto-san is the older brother of Yu Kurosaki and now runs his own sharpening company called Style K in Takefu Knife Village. He sources forged blades from different blacksmiths in the area like Kato-san, Ikeda-san and Yu Kurosaki-san.Ā
The work of a knife sharpener is often overlooked, but its importance cannot be overstated. While the blacksmith is responsible for hammering and hardening the steel, the sharpener
is responsible for making it actually work as a knife. They start with an extremely rough piece of forged steel and transform it into a finely tuned instrument of tomato destruction through the application of immense skill.
About the Shape - The Bunka looks like a bonafide badass. It is a multi-purpose knife akin to the Santoku. āBunkaā translates to āculture.ā A cross between the Nakiri and Gyuto, Bunkas can do it all. Itās the best of both worlds with the volume cranked to 11.
