Kuro is a set of experiments around knifemaking craftsmanship in Belgium. The inclination of designing with sustainable and upcycled materials has become necessary for the production of everyday objects.
Kuro ambition is to propose new ways of considering high-end artisanal products and Belgium craftsmanship through local manufacturing processes.
The steel comes from rubbish damp, tested with a spectrometer for the carbon content. This step determines if the steel can be used to produce knives blade. The birch wood arises from the fallen trees of the Sonian wood south of Brussels. Finally, the bluestone, an emblematic Belgium material, is extracted from offcuts of Hainaut quarry.
