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 series is one of their High end series that is hand-laminated and with beautifully hand-folded damask, which is rare nowadays. 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.
ATTENTION this is the 2nd. sorting as there is a small delamination in the back by the handle. It has no effect on the blade itself, and it comes without kanji.
