A Beginner's Guide to Japanese Knife Finishes: Kurouchi, Damascus

A Beginner's Guide to Japanese Knife Finishes: Kurouchi, Damascus

If you’ve been to a Knifewear store or seen us around online, it’s no secret that we LOVE Japanese knives: they came from the heavens to make prep work a breeze, AND they’re absolutely beautiful.  Sure, we could say that it’s what's inside that counts, how long it stays sharp, how well it cuts… but where’s the fun in that? You sure as heck don’t just pick a knife like this just for the functionality! I’m a colourful lady. I like to think of knives like fashion: If style didn’t matter, we’d all be wearing the same thing in some weird beige society. People are individuals! Thus, different styles and aesthetics exist. As someone known for dressing like a cartoon character, I’m 100% down for having some style in my life. This applies to knives, too. The great thing about.
