Maker of the Month: Yu Kurosaki
Yu Kurosaki Knives are the masterful creations of a celebrated blacksmith from Echizen, Japan, born in 1979, who grew up dreaming of crafting knives after being inspired by his father’s tales of local smiths at the Takefu Knife Village. Now a master in his own right, he forges stunning blades at the cooperative he joined after apprenticing under Hiroshi Kato, using steels like Aogami Super, SG2, and VG-10.

Let customers speak for us
from 247 reviewsI always take my clippers to District Cutlery to keep them sharp. It is like they are brand new.
I had been looking for a place to sharpen my knife for awhile and glad I found District Cutlery! I dropped off my knife in the morning and it was ready in a few hours and cuts great. Highly recommend this service.
I love this knife. I've been steadily replacing knives over the past few years, and this was the last one. I don't have to slice large pieces of meat every day, but when I do, this is the perfect tool. Also thrilled with the service at District Cutlery. They were knowledgeable and helpful in finding the best knife at my price point.
Amazing quality
Super sharp...they did an outstanding job on the knives. I could get a free sharpening from Shun, but they did such an amazing job in a short amount of time. They are also very knowledgeable about knives to include their amazing selection.
Nice Product, just like their knives. Also really like dealing with District Cutlery. I live out of state and they always email me back answering all my questions and ship fast.
Killer knife.Feels great in the hand. Looks great. Works really really well. Build quality is outstanding.
Great design. Works well. It would be nice if the seller can also attach a link to graphite tape replacement
This mail-in service is easy and seamless. I had a broken tip repaired and it came back perfectly done. I suspect they may have touched the edge to the stones also because the knife was sharp but I don’t remember it being this razor sharp. Will use again and highly recommend.
Beautiful knife! With that signature Swanson edge. Couldn't be happier.
I live in Baltimore and it is the only place I will go to take my knife to get sharpened. It’s the best!!!
Repeat customer. Always happy with quality, quick service.
Superb quality and so glad we don’t have to drive to DC to see y’all anymore!! Thanks for moving to Hampden!
It’s very sharp and it was the perfect gift for my chef husband.
Works great
