Yu Kurosaki

Yu Kurosaki has become one of Japan’s most celebrated blacksmiths — known for his bold aesthetic choices, cutting-edge techniques, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of traditional knifemaking. Beginning his journey in his teens and apprenticing for 12 years under Hiroshi Kato, Kurosaki established his own forge in 2014 and has since earned recognition from the Japanese government as the youngest ever to be named a Master Blacksmith.

His knives are instantly recognizable for their striking Tsuchime and Suminagashi finishes, thin grinds, and use of high-performance steels such as SG2, HAP40, and stainless-clad Blue Super. Kurosaki’s Fujin series, with its dramatic wind-patterned hammer finish, helped cement his reputation as a blacksmith who blends artistry and technical brilliance in equal measure.
