There is no hiding this knife. The brilliant gold finish immediately steals the spotlight, catching every source of light and reflecting it with incredible intensity. Beneath the vibrant coating, the flowing Damascus layers remain beautifully visible, adding texture and depth that constantly reveal themselves as the blade moves. It's bold, unapologetic, and unlike anything you'll find in a traditional Japanese knife.
Created by Hatsukokoro in collaboration with one of Echizen's skilled craftsmen, this 210mm Kiritsuke represents the perfect balance between contemporary design and traditional Japanese knife making. Every detail—from the grind to the final finish—is executed with the level of precision that has made Hatsukokoro one of the most respected names in modern Japanese cutlery.
At the heart of the blade is SG2 (R2) powdered stainless steel, hardened to approximately 63 HRC. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention, fine grain structure, and corrosion resistance, SG2 is a premium steel that rewards both professional chefs and passionate home cooks. Combined with an exceptionally thin laser grind, it delivers an effortless cutting experience that glides through ingredients with almost no resistance.
The 210mm Kiritsuke profile brings a unique personality to the cutting board. Its extended flat edge excels during push cuts, while the sharply defined K-tip offers outstanding precision for intricate knife work, fine vegetable prep, and clean, controlled cuts through proteins. Agile enough for everyday cooking yet substantial enough for larger prep sessions, it quickly becomes a knife you'll reach for constantly.
While the performance is unmistakably that of a serious laser, this knife is equally about presence. The brilliant gold finish transforms an already exceptional blade into something unforgettable, while the Damascus pattern shimmering beneath the surface reminds you that this is still a traditionally forged Japanese knife at its core.
It's a rare combination of world-class cutting performance and unmistakable visual impact—a Kiritsuke built for those who believe a knife should perform flawlessly and leave a lasting impression every time it's picked up.
