Yu Kurosaki R2(SG2) Hammered JUHYO WA STWG-AM
Yu Kurosaki JUHYO series are crafted out of SG2 (Super Gold 2 or R2) micro carbide powder stainless steel, one of the hardest blade steel in the world, which provides excellent rust resistance and a long-lasting edge as well as its beautifulness.
The blade surface has unique hammered JUHYO texture which causes an image of "frost-covered trees," a natural phenomenon that occurs under specific weather conditions, creating fantastical ice sculptures as frost and ice cling to the branches and leaves of trees.
The handles on these knives are Octagonal Stabilized Hybrid Wood that recalls the images of Japanese tradition.
