Kurosaki has built his reuption because his knife cuts extremely well, and on top of that, the unique hammer patterns on his blades demonstrate his own style and understanding of knife artistics. While the Fujin (God of the Wind) is based on VG10 damascus and Aogami Super, the Raijin is the next iteration utilitsing a special cobalt steel, heat treated to HRC64. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yu-kurosaki-raijin-vg10w-petty-130mm-with-k-s-amboyna-handle","title":"Yu Kurosaki Raijin VG10W Petty 130mm, with K\u0026S Amboyna Handle","description":"\u003cp\u003eI've had a soft spot for Yu Kurosaki's Raijin line since it landed. The hammered finish and the copper-coloured damascus look flashy, but the real story is the VG10 core. VG10 gets a bad rap from cheap factory knives, but in the hands of a good sharpener it's a different animal. Kurosaki-san runs it around 61 HRC, which gives you solid edge retention without making it a chore to sharpen. It's stainless, so you don't need to baby it, though I'd still wipe it down after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bunka is a great all-rounder. The flat profile suits push cuts and chopping, and the tip is nimble for detail work. The hammered finish isn't just for looks, it helps food release a little, though the real release comes from the convex grind behind the edge. It's a workhorse shape that punches above its price, especially if you want one knife that does most jobs well. If you're after a laser that glides through onions, this isn't it, but for a daily driver that takes a beating and keeps up, it's hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yu Kurosaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48344322408669,"sku":"YKURO-V10WRJ-PE130-ABN","price":389.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/YuKurosakiRaijinVG10WPetty130mm_withK_SAmboynaHandlea.jpg?v=1786086207"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/collections\/kurosaki-raijin.oembed","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
