The Hatsukokoro Hikari Trio brings together three essential tools that balance precision, versatility, and maintenance—all wrapped in the elegance of Japanese craftsmanship.
Forged in collaboration with some of Japan’s most respected artisans, the Hikari line is built from SLD semi-stainless steel—a material originally designed for cutting steel itself. It offers the keen bite of high-carbon steel with easier maintenance, requiring only a quick wipe after use.

Gyuto 210mm
The heart of the kitchen. With its ultra-thin grind and lightweight laser profile, the Gyuto slices through vegetables, proteins, and herbs with minimal resistance. At 210mm, it strikes the perfect balance between agility and cutting power.
-
Petty Knife
Compact, nimble, and indispensable, the petty excels in detail work. From trimming meat and peeling produce to quick in-hand tasks, it’s the perfect grab-and-go knife for everyday use.
Both blades feature a stabilized birch octagonal handle with white spacer, pairing comfort with understated elegance. The polished lamination line and clean finish highlight the skill behind each knife.
No set is complete without maintenance. The ceramic honing rod keeps your edges aligned and sharp between sharpenings. Gentle yet effective, it restores performance without removing unnecessary steel, ensuring your knives stay razor-sharp for years.
This set covers your daily prep from detail work to main-course execution, while giving you the tool to keep them sharp. Whether you’re building your first high-quality collection or upgrading to a matched set, the Hikari Trio offers precision, beauty, and longevity.
