The KURO series is a heavy ironclad knife that feels substantial in the hand while the Walnut handle is smooth and warm. The White #2 Carbon edge with soft black iron cladding, provides a distinctive look as the final layer of iron has an oxide coating to help prevent rust*. Heavy and solid, these knives are heavy duty workhorses.
Hand engraved with the Kikuichi chrysanthemum logo.
