The Japanese Hatsukokoro brand was founded by a company that had been specializing in Japanese kitchen knives for some ten years. The company works in partnership with renowned Japanese blacksmiths, experts in the art of traditional forging. Thanks to their know-how, these craftsmen produce Hatsukokoro knives renowned for their superior quality and distinctive design, combining ancestral techniques with original style.
This all-purpose knife features a high-quality damascened blade. This manufacturing technique consists of forging a core of rigid steel, then wrapping it in several layers of softer steel. This process gives your blade a certain suppleness, balancing its hardness while protecting the core of your kitchen knife, guaranteeing performance and longevity.
The core of this blade is made from Japanese Aogami #2 steel, also known as Blue Paper Steel 2, a high-quality alloy manufactured by the renowned steelmaker Hitachi. With a carbon content of around 1.2%, this steel gives your blade a high level of hardness, reaching 62HRC on the Rockwell scale. This level of hardness guarantees excellent edge retention and ensures a clean, long-lasting cut!
What's more, the blade has a fine, flatgrind, optimizing its strength. This shape also facilitates sharpening and gives the blade an attractive appearance.
To complete its damascene structure, several layers of softer stainless steel envelop the Aogami core. This superimposition protects the core of the blade while providing suppleness (without becoming flexible) and shock resistance, thus reducing the risk of breakage in use. You can admire the fine, random waves formed by the superposition of steel layers all over the blade's surface.
This damascus knife is also distinguished by its unique copper finish, which lends it an uncommon touch of originality. Finally, the blade has been carefully polished for a refined finish and the most elegant visual effect!
This damascus knife features a handle crafted entirely from ebony wood, an exotic species prized for its strength and longevity. Its elegant dark hue and distinctive grain give each Hatsukokoro knife a unique character.
With its octagonal shape, this handle adapts perfectly to all hands, whether left- or right-handed! It guarantees an ergonomic grip, ensuring comfort and precision even during prolonged use in the kitchen.
For a meticulous finish, wood paste has been applied to the junction between blade and handle. This fills any small gaps, ensuring an optimal seal and preventing any infiltration of water or food residues.
Proper care is essential to preserve your carbon knife. It should be washed exclusively by hand, using a soft sponge and a non-aggressive detergent, taking care not to wet the handle. After cleaning, be sure to dry immediately with a clean cloth to avoid any moisture build-up. To prolong its life, keep it in a dry place.
Do not place in the dishwasher, and never let the knife soak in water.
Over time, the blade may change color slightly, which is perfectly normal. This natural patina is a natural reaction of carbon to moisture or acidic foods, and in no way alters the quality or efficiency of your Japanese utility knife!
