About Hatsukokoros - The Hatsukokoro series encompasses a wide range of knives, forged and crafted by some of the best knife makers in Japan. They work with a wide variety of artisans, from blacksmiths to knife sharpeners and handle makers. By working with folks who have mastered their craft, each aspect of the knife is carefully curated.

Techniques range from traditional hand-forging to modern roll-forging, with a broad spectrum of steels, both raw, reactive carbon steel and high-tech stainless steels. The maker and material are hand-selected to perfectly suit the intended line; be it an affordable knife for home cooks, or high-performance masterpieces for collectors.
About the Shape -This is also a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to their unique shape and smaller easy-to-handle size.

  • Bunka

    The Bunka looks like a bonafide badass. It is a multi purpose knife akin to the Santoku. “Bunka” translates to “culture.” A cross between the Nakiri and Gyuto, Bunkas can do it all. It’s the best of both worlds with the volume cranked to 11.
