Yu Kurosaki "Shizuku" R2/SG2 Tsuchime 170mm Santoku with Rosewood Handle
type: Product
description: Yu Kurosaki's Shizuku Santoku turns a compact all-purpose profile into one of his most recognizable blades. The SG2 powder-steel core offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, protected by softer stainless cladding for practical daily care. Shizuku's hand-hammered texture evokes falling droplets and catches light across the blade without compromising its purposeful geometry. At 170mm, the santoku is agile enough for smaller boards while retaining useful height for vegetables and comfortable knuckle clearance. This version uses an octagonal rosewood handle with a black pakkawood ferrule, giving the knife a warmer, lighter presentation than the existing ebony-handled configuration. The thin, hard edge rewards accurate technique and delivers the clean, precise cutting character expected from Kurosaki's Echizen workshop.
