150mm Hatsukokoro Hayabusa AS Wa Petty Utility

150mm Hatsukokoro Hayabusa AS Wa Petty Utility

H & K is a Japanese knife manufacturer and their house brand is called Hatsukoro. The brand is supplied by a handful of manufacturers from different notable knifemaking regions such as Seki and Tosa. Our first import shipment from H & K included the Kumokage line and the Shinkiro line. The Hayabusa lines also come in other high grade stainless and semi stainless steel. We think they offer exceptional performance and beauty for the price.

This is a food prep knife designed for users who value excellent sharpness and edge retention and who can tolerate the reactivity of the blade as they are prone to discolor food they come in contact with. 

The best sharpening tools for Japanese knives are leather strops and fine whetstones.

Japanese chef knives are brittle and are designed for cutting soft tissue foods. High Carbon steel chef knives can rust if not kept dry.
