Abroad it is known as a chef's knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts blade is narrower than a santoku's — it was made for meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooks who often work with large ingredients have taken to it as a longer, roomier all-purpose knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlimmer and sharper in profile than a santoku, it is the second most popular shape in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Flash Indigo Tenmoku series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged by Yu Kurosaki, one of Japan's leading bladesmiths. Widely featured on television and with a following around the world, he is known for two things: the tsuchime hammer finish he strikes into every blade himself, and the extraordinary edge that high-grade Super Gold high-speed steel makes possible. The Senko series carries a tsuchime pattern designed around the idea of light. Each blade is made by hand by a certified traditional craftsman, so the number that exist is small. The handle was developed by Akiyuki Sakamoto of Edit Japan, a producer of Japanese traditional crafts, together with Mai Kobo — a group of artisans in Tokushima who hold the unusual skill of dyeing wood with indigo. It builds on the earlier Indigo Bocho, which first brought indigo dyeing to a knife, and takes the collaboration further: tenmoku, a technique from ceramics, and kanshitsu, a technique from lacquerware, are worked into the indigo. The result is a textured surface that grips well and a look nothing else has, in a color long said to carry antibacterial properties. Kurosaki's Senko and indigo-dyed Tenmoku, on one knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the sheath\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYu Kurosaki's knives are not normally sold with a sheath, so Edit Japan developed one for this series. Every sheath uses the kiritsuke-gata shape, with an angled tip. The cross-section is cut as two facets meeting in a ridge, so that the bright and the shadowed parts of the tenmoku finish both read clearly. Smaller things are taken care of too: the pin that holds the knife in the sheath is tied to it with a cord, so it is hard to lose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngraving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade already carries Yu Kurosaki's signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional engraving is not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not cut or strike bones or frozen food.
