Care and everyday use
It is at its best for clean vegetable cuts. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Scary sharp out of the box. Glides through onions and tomatoes with zero effort.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the Kurouchi looks even better in person.

The SG2/R2 powder stainless steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.
