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.

Always good, never dissapoints!
Incredible work! My go to place for all my cutlery sharpening and maintenance.
My God I don't know where to start. Prior to using your services. I was spending $20 per pocket or fixed blade knife.
Plus another $15 to $20 in shipping to and from. Then having to wait for 3 weeks to get my knives back.
And even dealing with a knife not sent back with my last order. And having to wait another 2 weeks for that one to be returned.
I decided to try your services. And within 3 days. I had my knives sharpened and mailed to me.
And my knives have never been sharpened this well since I bought them new.
Thank you for better pricing and better results with competent shipping.
Sincerely.
Joshua Fields.
What wonderful service I received. Options were thoughtfully presented, and each was clearly explained. He truly knows these knives inside and out. I highly recommend working with this team when purchasing a new knife.
Best in the business. Perfection every time.
Amazing shop, so glad that we finally have a quality cutlery store in Baltimore! I am so grateful to have someone I trust with my knives.
love these knives....
Couldn’t be happier! They repaired a very special knife that had a broken tip and were generous with their time and advice.
I have used them for years and they are great. Highly recommend.
A sharp knife makes food preparation easier.
They are great! Perfect for every day kitchen use.
This was a great pick-up with a slightly weight-forward design. The octoganal handle is great, and Chad was very helpful orienting me to what he had in stock and how the different pieces compared. If you're looking for a solid knife, do yourself a favor and stop by District Cutlery to feel out what works, in-hand.
Thanks for finding this one for me, Ryan!
Works great, really loving it.
Dropped off 3 chef knives, Very happy with the sharpening and thinning service, knives are like new. They even thinned out 1 for no additional charge. Quick turnaround too, will be back!
Easy and reasonable pricing!
