Kuroro Urushi Finish Handle

"Kuroro" refers to the deep, beautiful, glossy color of black lacquer. This kind of lacquer also goes by "Urushi" which is used in an "Urushi finish", the Japanese traditional coating technique inherited for thousands of years.

This octagonal handle is thinly coated with raw lacquer on the entire surface, rubbing it to make the wood grain stand out beautifully as a base. Then, it is coated with Kuroro lacquer on two sides. Kuroro lacquer is applied multiple times over many layers, then repeating the polishing process in order to give the lacquered surface a mirror-like luster and a luxurious finish. The striking power behind the Kuroro color also gives it a stunning appearance.

This lacquer style is also highly resistant to water and less prone to damage than ordinary wooden handles.

Damascus Pattern

It is made by forging two types of steel with different hardness together. Bending and overlapping them in layers, and then polishing the blade to reveal the pattern formed. The harder steel shines, while the softer steel remains dull, creating a unique pattern on the surface that resembles wood grain. This ripple pattern is called Damascus steel and has become popular in the kitchen knife community.
