This handcrafted Japanese knife reflects all the richness of Japanese know-how. Part of the Hatsukokoro Yorokobi collection, it is designed to offer a remarkable cutting experience. Crafted in Japan by experienced artisans, it is as seductive in its aesthetics as it is in its performance. Its damask design with copper highlights and its rough forged finish give it a strong identity, ideal for enriching your kitchen equipment with an authentic piece.
The blade is based on a damascened structure, obtained by superimposing several layers of steel surrounding a rigid core. This process combines strength and cutting performance, while protecting the core of the blade.
The core is made of SLD powder steel, a Japanese alloy enriched with approximately 1.6% carbon. This composition achieves a hardness of 63 HRC on the Rockwell scale. The result is a long-lasting cutting edge that retains its effectiveness even after many uses.
SLD steel also boasts a homogeneous micro-structure, promoting greater wear resistance and limiting micro-cracking. Its chromium content enhances its resistance to corrosion, while retaining the cutting qualities of a carbon-rich steel.
Damascus reveals unique wavy patterns, enhanced here by an original copper effect. The rough forged finish reinforces the blade's traditional character, while adding an authentic visual touch.
The handle is made entirely of ebony, a species renowned for its strength and longevity. Its high density makes it highly resistant to humidity, while offering excellent stability over time.
Its naturally dark color brings a sober elegance, while its unique veins make each piece different. This choice of material is perfectly in keeping with the knife's artisanal spirit.
The octagonal shape of the handle makes for a pleasant, intuitive grip. It is suitable for both right- and left-handed users, while offering good control for precise cutting. This geometry also favors balanced weight distribution, limiting fatigue during prolonged use.
The assembly between the blade and handle is carefully crafted to ensure a watertight seal and prevent infiltration.
Hand-wash only with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Dry immediately after cleaning to avoid any traces of moisture.
Do not use the dishwasher or immerse in water for long periods. Store in a dry place and use a suitable board to preserve its sharpness. Regular sharpening with a stone will maintain its performance over time.
The Japanese Hatsukokoro brand collaborates with experienced craftsmen throughout Japan. Its knives are crafted using traditional techniques, while incorporating high-performance modern steels.
The Yorokobi range illustrates this desire to combine aesthetics and efficiency. Each piece is carefully crafted to offer a balance between original design and cutting quality.
