It’s a quiet tribute to the deep respect Japan holds for craftsmanship, tradition, and the people behind the blades. Based in Amagasaki City since 2013, the company works closely with some of the most respected blacksmiths, sharpeners, and handle makers in Japan. Their house brand, Hatsukokoro, features knives crafted by highly skilled—but often undisclosed—artisans, letting the work speak for itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"963\" data-start=\"585\"\u003eOne of the standout lines in their collection is the \u003cstrong data-end=\"655\" data-start=\"638\"\u003eHikari Series\u003c\/strong\u003e, built from SLD semi-stainless steel.
