The deep chocolate tones of the wenge contrast beautifully against the vibrant red resin, creating a bold yet timeless aesthetic that feels both luxurious and unmistakably handcrafted.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"439\" data-end=\"721\"\u003eNo two custom handles are ever identical. The natural grain of the stabilized wenge, the organic movement of the red epoxy, and the way each material blends together ensure this knife will forever remain a true 1 of 1. Once sold, this exact configuration can never be recreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"723\" data-end=\"1193\"\u003eOver the years, customers have repeatedly asked us for a Japanese bread knife that delivers genuine cutting performance without venturing into extreme price territory. When we finally secured a small batch of these Hatsukokoro bread knives, we knew a few deserved something special. This custom assembly transforms an already exceptional performer into a unique collector's piece without compromising the practicality that made the blade so appealing in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1627\"\u003eBehind its elegant appearance lies a remarkably capable cutting tool. The 240mm blade features aggressive, precisely machined serrations designed to cut cleanly through everything from crusty sourdough and artisan breads to delicate pastries, sandwiches, tomatoes, citrus, and large fruits. Instead of crushing soft interiors or tearing delicate surfaces, the teeth bite confidently and guide the blade through with surprising ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"2021\"\u003eThe blade itself is crafted from DSR-1K6 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and effortless day-to-day maintenance. More importantly, the geometry has been exceptionally well executed. A thicker spine near the handle provides stability and confidence, while the blade gradually tapers toward a remarkably thin cutting section that minimizes resistance throughout the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2023\" data-end=\"2476\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe result is a bread knife that feels lighter in use than its size suggests, delivering smooth, effortless slicing with a level of control rarely found in mass-produced serrated knives. Combined with its custom stabilized wenge and crimson epoxy handle, it becomes far more than a specialty kitchen tool—it is a one-of-one creation, assembled by hand at Kakushin for those who appreciate both exceptional performance and truly unique craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Assembled in Canada 🍁","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51586489516265,"sku":null,"price":330.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/Bread_31a9c288-4028-4718-8aea-181563f817e8.png?v=1785102270","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/hatsukokoro-1k6-custom-red-epoxy-bread-knife-240mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
