This is an SG2 Bunka by Yu Kurosaki with his latest Tsuchime pattern "Senko" (sparkle) on an incredibly looking stainless cladding. Ground beautifully towards the edge, the jigane including the entire tsuchime pattern is then polished to a mirror-like effect before exposing the SG2 steel core, which is heat-treated to 63 HRC with superior edge retention. Behind the edge is extremely thin with beautiful tapering, ensuring superb cutting smoothness. Yu Kurosaki makes perhaps the most stunning tsuchime patterns in Japan. The blade is paired with a western-shaped handle made with ironwood, with mosaic pins as decorations.

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:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. 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.

Average pillow that might be great for some folks, not for me
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I should have know this would be like every other pillow I've ever ordered. It's too puffy for me. No give. It claims to offer better support for side sleepers but instead it's giving me kinks in my neck. Not for me. Not adjustable. Not versatile. Standard materials. White. Can't speak to washability and durability as I have had it long and haven't washed it. fair price for two standard pillows. I really wish all these bedding companies would stop rolling and vacuum sealing pillows and such.

Just perfect. Well made, No Issues Just one perfect sleep zzzzzzzzzzz😴
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I had down pillows, and foam pillows, and other synthetic pillows etc and some were ok and others were not. I cannot get a great nights sleep if I am constantly having to adjust my pillow during the night. I ordered these pillows as I sleep on my side mostly but sometimes on my back. When they arrived I followed the directions (as they are in a vacuum pack) and only takes a few minutes for them to acclimate. Then put pillow cases on them and off to bed. I had the BEST sleep I have had in YEARS !!!!! The pillows are great. They keep your head comfortable and cool (No Sweating) and super comfortable. The only issue is after a perfect nights sleep, I find I really do not want to get out of bed in the morning..One great thing, is I am retired so I really do not have to get up out of bed until I want to 😴😳. The pillows are well made and feel like expensive down filled pillows but softer. I am VERY satisfied with the pillows. I just wish I would have found these pillows years ago. But now I have them and the perfect sleep that they provide. Dr Dave
