This Zakuri 150mm Blue #1 Kurouchi Funayuki is a double-beveled knife. The handle is made of ho wood and is octagon shaped with a buffalo horn ferrule. This knife is like a small gyuto. It can be used for smaller tasks, where a large gyuto might be too big, but a petty doesn't have the blade height you might want. The blue #1 steel takes a very good edge and holds it pretty well. This knife is carbon, so it can rust if not cared for properly. The kurouchi finish does help protect the knife from rust a little.

Based on a recommendation from one of our customers, we have decided to bring you the Tosagata bocho from Zakuri. Zakuri is based in the Tosa region and the Tosagata Bocho is a unique Tosa based knife. It is very much like a thin and nimble santoku. At 180mm this knife is a great size for home cooks or for professional cooks as a utility or line knife. The Blue #1 in the knife will take an amazing edge and has pretty good edge holding capabilities. As with most carbon knives, this one sharpens very easily too. The kurouchi finish on this knife helps prevent rust, but this knife should still be cleaned and dried after use. The D-shaped handle on this knife is made of walnut and it has a plastic ferrule.

These scissors are pruning scissors used for cutting small branches. They can also be used for many kitchen tasks. I have even seen a yakitori chef use scissors like these to trim the burnt edges from grilled food. They would also make great general craft scissors.
These scissors are hand-forged from blue #2 steel with softer iron cladding. The black finish on the blades is called a kurouchi finish and is the residual scale from the forging process.
