Description & specifications
Hatsukokoro is a brand from Amagasaki close to Osaka City. They collaborate with various blacksmiths and sharpeners around Japan and develop new series in an attempt to make some of the best knives in the world, but also really good knives in a lower price range to be able to supply all different needs.
The Hayabusa series is a true laser that is very light and really thin behind the edge, but also on the back. They deliver a really good cutting experience for the price.

The knife, like all other good Japanese knives, cannot be machine washed, and as the blade is not completely stainless, we recommend that you pay close attention to rinsing and drying the blade very quickly after you have cut with it, otherwise it will start to oxidize.
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
