Hatsukokoro Ryuhyo SG2 - 150mm Petty

Hatsukokoro is a brand from Amagasaki near Osaka City. They collaborate with various blacksmiths and sharpeners across Japan, developing new series in an effort to create some of the best knives in the world, but also really good knives in a lower price range to cater to all different needs.

Foodgear always advises against cutting through any kind of bones and frozen goods. Knives should not be washed in a dishwasher, as this removes sharpness and promotes rust attacks - even in stainless alloys!

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.
