Featured Yu Kurosaki Fūjin SG2 Bunka

First Impressions

Out of the box, the quality of the finish on the cutting edge is immediately apparent and theFūjin is right up there with the very best knives for out of the box sharpness and Kurosaki san has once again created something special with this range.

Beauty

It’s hard to avoid using too many superlatives when describing Yu Kurosaki knives so we won’t.

These are astonishingly beautiful knives, the hammer finish designed to invoke feelings of motion from the wind of the GodFūjin combined with the subtle exposed tapering of the core SG2 steel down to the cutting edge really do make theFūjin every bit a piece of high performance art.

Unlike the VG10 version of the Fūjin, this collection has an ebony and white buffalo horn handle to complete the outstanding look.

In Hand

Well balanced and relatively lightweight this version of the Fūjin is paired with a tradtional wa handle made from ebony and white buffalo horn. It’s a joy to use.

Durability

The SG2 core steel clad in stainless is already very sharp out of the box and edge retention and durability of the steel is top notch.

Ease of Care

Very easy to care for, SG2 is stainless, durable and retains an edge well sofollow our normal care guideand perhaps consider storing your knife on one of ourmagnetic rackswhen not in use.

Our Verdict

Given the outstanding sharpness, the design, fit and finish and Yu Kurosaki’s experience and skill as a master blacksmith theFūjin range is great value for money and much like his other ranges you’re getting a great deal of skill and quality for your money.

Kurosaki’s work is in high demand for good reason.
