About Yu Kurosaki 黒崎 優

A young artisan in his forties, Yu Kurosaki has become one of leading knife makers in Japan, winning top awards and attention for his hand-forged knives especially his Tsuchime finish. Inheriting over 700 years of knife making skills from previous generations of Echizen artisans, Mr Kurosaki has focused his career on making knives that give unforgettable impressions and incredible cutting pleasures. Yu's unique Tsuchime design, as seen in his Shizuku and Fujin series, are not only aesthetically magnificent but also incredibly functional when it comes to making food less likely to stick to blades. Today, Yu's works, hand made in small batches, have become so popular overseas that his top knives like the ones featured in Burrfection Store are increasingly hard to come by.

Care:

 

Aogami Super (Blue Super) steel is considered the most superior Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Awesome product
Size: King, Color: Navy Blue
From this point forward, this is the only company that I would use. All is one color, and not having the white fabric in the middle is a bonus!

Nice dark blue color
Size: Twin, Color: Navy Blue
Bought 2 dark blue for twin beds and they look good with my blue and white quilts covering the beds. There are some wrinkles in the cloth due to packaging which may relax with time. but don't show much due to the dark color. I did find any defects in the stitching or fabric on the items I purchased. A note for prospective buyers is that the dust ruffle covers the entire bed foundation, so get help to put on under a heavy mattress.

Beautiful comforter set! its super fluffy light weight while still cozy, gives a clean expensive look. It arrives wrinkled up from being packaged, i never steamed mine but you could do that if you want a crisp look. I love the quality and looks more expensive then it was, highly recommend!

Excellent buy!
Color: Blush, Size: Twin/Twin XL
I LOVE this set! It is perfect all year long! I fold it down in the summer to just cover my feet. In the Fall it’s perfect weight alone and in the colder months I use a blanket underneath! Everyone says it’s Beautiful! The color stays true wash after wash! It retains its shape well also! The pillow case is exactly like the cover! It also retains color & shape! It’s soft and you can just curl up in it! The quality is just as good as some other very expensive brands! This is great value for the money!
