About Makoto Kurosaki 黒崎 真
Makoto Kurosaki is a master knife sharpener based in Takefu Knife Village, known for his exceptional ability to create knives with ultra-thin edges, ensuring precision cutting and ease of handling.

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 polyethylene 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.
