Zakuri is the brand behind Karaku knives, meticulously crafted in the Tosa region of Shikoku, Japan, under the expert guidance of blacksmith Michikuni Tokaji. These knives exemplify superior quality, crafted from Aogami #1, a highly esteemed blue steel prized for its remarkable sharpness and edge retention.

With their traditional kurouchi finish, these knives showcase a dark appearance that not only enhances their visual appeal but also serves as a protective layer against rust and discoloration.
