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.

Great job of sharpening my 5 kitchen knives
Amazing
Fast, easy, and results were incredible.
Drop-off and pickup were easy breezy, and the results were super sharp.
Working with District Cutlery was a pleasure from start to finish. They were clearly passionate about their craft and finished our knife very quickly. It looks great following their service and the price was very reasonable. Looking forward to working with them again!
Super sharp! They are always very kind and professional. Highly recommend!
