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.
This particular Kiritsuke is truly one of one. Starting with Hatsukokoro's spectacular gold Damascus blade, we completed the knife here at Kakushin by hand-assembling it with a custom full-tang handle crafted from black carbon fiber epoxy, accented with flowing gold and vibrant yellow swirls. The handle was designed specifically for this blade, perfectly echoing the rich golden finish while adding subtle depth and movement of its own. The result is a seamless, luxurious combination that feels as though the blade and handle were always meant to exist together. Once completed, no second knife like it will ever be made.
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. Paired with its custom black, gold, and yellow carbon fiber epoxy handle, the entire knife becomes a cohesive work of art—elegant, aggressive, and unmistakably unique.
This isn't simply another premium Japanese knife—it's a one-of-one custom creation. Combining the effortless performance of an SG2 laser, the mesmerizing brilliance of Hatsukokoro's gold Damascus finish, and a custom carbon fiber epoxy handle assembled by hand at Kakushin, it is equally at home in the hands of a serious chef or in a discerning collector's display. Once it's gone, there will never be another exactly like it.
