An In depth look

Blade Type

The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.

Steel Type

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use. 

Introducing

Hatsukokoro

Based in Amagasaki, Hatsukokoro partners closely with a wide network of skilled Japanese blacksmiths (Think Yoshikane, Myojin, Yauji and many more) and manufacturers to create an expansive range of kitchen knives. Their approach is rooted in collaboration — drawing on the strengths of various makers across Japan to develop collections that span from accessible entry-level pieces to exceptional high-performance tools.

I am in love with this knife 😍

Being FIFO, there generally isn't much joy working as a chef. But having this beautiful knife makes me giddy, and excited to cut a capsicum. Currently fighting the urge to buy her a friend....a battle I am losing. 😳 Maybe a little nakiri sister 🤔. The guy that assisted me was lovely and insightful. For someone who just wanted a pretty knife, I'm regretting not doing this sooner, the knife just falls through things with little effort. ❤️

Amazing knife, brilliant service

The fact I found this knife and had it shipped to England cheaper than you can get it for over here is insane. Absolutely beautiful knife, delivered quickly and perfectly. Over the moon

Great weight and depth, good sharpness out of the box, beautiful handle. Instant favourite
