The Blacksmith
Hatsukokoro brings in masters of smithing, sharpening, and handle making to ensure quality, and a high attention to detail on their knives, so you know that you will be getting an amazing work knife. Based out of the industrial city of Amagasaki , Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, Hatsukokoro offers a wide breadth of handcrafted blades, sourcing from a variety of knife making regions across Japan. Their offerings are diverse in price point and profile, making them a great option for both industry guys and home cooks.
At the price these Kurouchi finish knives are a must have workhorse for any kit, the blue #2 steel will take an amazing edge, while being slightly more durable and rust resistant than a White steel (but we still wouldn’t push our luck). The dark octagonal wood handle looks great with the rustic style of the blade, making it as much a show piece as a work knife.
The Knife
This knife is single beveled and is meant to be used by right handed users. The Kiritsuke is said to be one of the most difficult knives to master, but once it has been mastered, is the most versatile. It has all the attributes of a deba, usuba and yanagiba mixed into one amazingly versatile blade. It is traditionally only used by the Head chef at restaurants in Japan but we won't say anything if you don't ;)
