This exceptional Japanese kitchen knife is part of the revered Kokusen (Black Flash) line, a direct evolution of Yu Kurosaki's legendary designs, now featuring a premium Aogami Super carbon steel core. The core is enveloped in a stainless steel cladding with a distinctive star-shaped hammer pattern and a dark kurouchi finish, offering the legendary sharpness and edge retention of carbon steel with significantly easier maintenance.\n\nCrafted for performance, this Japanese kitchen knife features Yu Kurosaki's signature concave grind, making it remarkably thin behind the edge for effortless, precise cuts through all ingredients. The 'Ei' designation refers to its acute K-tip (Kiritsuke tip) profile, creating an incredibly fine point perfect for detailed work. With a blade length of 270mm and a height of 59mm, this Gyuto provides ample knuckle clearance and versatility, making it an ideal all-purpose chef's knife for professional kitchens and serious enthusiasts.\n\nThe handle is a unique octagonal WA handle crafted by the hamono from ebony wood, offering a secure and comfortable grip. With a spine that tapers from 2.0mm at the heel to a needle-like 1.0mm at the tip and a total weight of 241g, this Japanese kitchen knife feels agile and weightless in hand. Discover why the Kurosaki Kokusen Ei is celebrated for its excellent fit, finish, and unparalleled cutting performance.","brand":"Kurosaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47775038111965,"sku":"KS-ASKS-GY270-EB","price":479.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_3943.jpg?v=1775799541","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/kurosaki-kokusen-ei-aogami-super-k-tip-gyuto-270mm-ebony","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
