This is an SG2 Gyuto 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.

Comfortable and cool. Does not ride up.
Color: 01-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Medium
Extremely comfortable. Stays cool. Ample coverage. Quality material. They do not creep up. I ordered a medium which I generally take a size small. I have reordered and will reorder again to add more colors to my collection.

Great Value for Cool Thigh Protection
Color: 02-multicolour (4-pack), Size: XX-Large
For the price, I'm not sure there are better women's boxer shortlettes anywhere. I've tried more expensive brands, and for quality and cooling, these are right up there. I have other bamboo viscose undies that still get gross when I get sweaty in the summer, but these, with the large mesh panel, really help wick away a lot of that moisture, keeping you feeling dryer and cooler. I find that the leg openings are comfortable and don't roll up! and the waist band doesn't dig, nor does it roll down. These do not provide any compression, and I wasn't looking for any. I just wanted some cooling, thigh protecting women's boxers that wouldn't break the bank. These are them! Bonus- I've washed them and put them in the dryer (following their instructions), and they haven't shrunk; they look about the same and are nice and soft.

Great for the entire family but expensive
So far so good. The brand of boxers we had been buying changed their style and construction so we needed to find an alternative. These have held up well so far to multiple weeks of frequent washing and wearing from the entire family. We did size up from the usual 6/M we normally buy and ordered large to prevent the legs from rolling up which worked out great. Our daughter likes the length and how soft the fabric is for wearing under skirts and gym shorts and liners stay put without moving or leaking as another reviewer mentioned. Our son says they are comfortable and fit well being just supportive enough without being constrictive. We all agree that there seems to be not enough fabric in the back as they tend to be much tighter across the backside than the front and that also causes the waist band to ride lower in the back than the front. These have better seam placement than some brands we tried with no seam across the lady bits and no seam down the middle of the back side so they are more much comfortable but the cost is also much higher and that is why we're only giving it 4 stars. These will stay in the rotation until we find something cheaper that both us and the kids like.

Pregnant lady review! Soft, comfortable, cool.
Color: 03-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Large
So soft, comfortable and cool. I'm pregnant and I've gained weight in my legs. I love wearing dresses but my thighs were rubbing together too much. These are perfect to wear under dresses. I also wear them under my bibs at work and it keeps me from getting overheated but I don't have to worry about whether or not my underwear show since they just look like shorts. I wish these came in maternity. I just keep them below my belly. I'll be buying more for sure.

I want to live in these
Color: 01-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Medium
I bought 4 different sets of new underwear. Unfortunately these came last. It’s unfortunate, because if they had come first I would have cancelled all my other orders or returned them and ordered more of these. I never want to wear anything else ever again; these are the comfiest undies I’ve ever owned, I want to live in them. I can wear them under pretty much anything except leggings or very tight pants (but let’s be honest, I don’t wear those anyway.) They are incredibly soft and breathable, they wash well, don’t roll, keep my thighs from rubbing, are comfy to sleep in, and the colors were true to the photo. Just a heads up, they are on the thin side and just a bit see through in the rear. I’m 5’5” 140lbs and the mediums fit perfectly, they go about mid-thigh.
