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 Komorebi blue2 series is one of their High end series that is hand laminated with a wide bevel grind and a beautiful natural stone polish. It comes almost 5 mm. thick out of the handle, but tapers in very quickly and becomes really thin at the tip and behind the egg.
