Hatsukokoro is more than just a name—it’s a philosophy of respect for tradition, craftsmanship, and the artisans who bring blades to life. Since 2013, based in Amagasaki, the company has collaborated with some of Japan’s most skilled blacksmiths, sharpeners, and handle makers to create knives that honor both heritage and performance.
This full VG-10 Series takes that legacy into stainless steel. Forged from premium VG-10 stainless steel, hardened to ~60 HRC, these blades offer an ideal balance of sharpness, toughness, and corrosion resistance—perfect for chefs who want high performance without the extra maintenance of carbon steel. The gradual, carefully executed grind sets them apart, providing silky cutting feel and superb edge retention.
Equally striking is the Western-style Acrylic Handle, designed with bold colors and intricate swirl patterns. While the overall palette and design remain consistent, the natural flow of the resin means each handle forms slightly different swirls—making every piece subtly one-of-a-kind. Finished with mosaic pins, it’s as functional as it is artistic. Beyond aesthetics, the ergonomics provide excellent stability and comfort for long hours of prep.
This model, crafted as a Kiritsuke, embodies versatility and presence. With its long, flat profile and angled tip, it excels in push-cutting, slicing proteins, and delicate knife work. It’s both powerful and precise, a true multitasker that commands attention in any kitchen.
With its flawless blend of modern stainless steel, traditional Japanese shaping, and a handle as unique as a fingerprint, the VG-10 Kiritsuke isn’t just a knife—it’s a statement piece. Durable, beautiful, and refined, it’s ready to become the centerpiece of your kitchen.
