Hand-forged in Sanjo, Japan by Yoshikane Hamono for the Hatsukokoro brand, this 210mm kiritsuke gyuto has an SKD core with stainless cladding and a nashiji finish. This Japanese chef's knife has a flat profile suited to push cutting, and the pointed tip is useful for fine detail work. The blade is thin behind the edge, so it cuts with little effort. It has a nice heft in hand. SKD holds an edge well and sharpens easily on stones.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away. It could be months before that item comes back, if at all. We bring in new knives regularly, but they're not always the same ones. Our newsletter is the best way to stay updated on new arrivals.
What payment methods do you accept? Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. No cash on delivery.
