Makoto Kurosaki is making a new line of blades going by the name of Ryusei, which is Japanese for “shooting star.” A bit like the maker! These new blades are so well made and executed we continue to be impressed and amazed at the overall quality of his work.
The blade is quite thin at the spine and after the high transition to the primary blade road, it thins out even more in a most satisfying way. One look at the choil shot will clearly illustrate the wonderfully thin and precise grind achieved by this budding master.
The blades are beautifully finished, as are all of his knives. These are further enhanced by some well executed hand engraved kanji elements—a great touch and great new knife. A maple and red pakka wood octagonal handle finishes off this knife perfectly.Brand: Makoto

This was my first real kitchen knife purchase. I wanted to start off with a stainless steel before moving up into carbon steel and I am thoroughly impressed with how well it has maintained it's sharpness. Everything about the knife is well constructed and I'd highly recommend this to anyone as a first knife!
