Hatsukokoro Yoake Blue 1 240mm Chef's knife

kr.4.499,00

Hatsukokoro is a brand that works with some of the best blacksmiths and grinders in Japan. This means that they are not only limited to a few steel types or grinds, but actually have the opportunity to work on and develop a lot of different knives with different steel types, geometry, grinds and finishes.

The Yoake series is SUPER robust. Comes out nicely thick from the tongs and is generally thick across the back, but has a super nice taper further down towards the egg, and ends up being quite thin. A true workhorse with a fantastic grind, which gives it both stability and exceptionally good cutting ability.

Foodgear always advises against cutting all kinds of bones and frozen goods. Knives must not be washed in a dishwasher, as this removes sharpness and provokes rust - even in stainless alloys!
