Hatsukokoro
Hatsukokoro distinguishes itself through a unique production model: rather than operating as a single forge, it partners with master blacksmiths across Tosa, Seki, and Sakai to manufacture its knives. This collaborative approach allows them to utilize a wide variety of steels and produce an extensive range of knives at different price points. By integrating centuries-old handcraft with modern metallurgic innovations, each distinct knife possesses its own authentic character and delivers uncompromising cutting precision.
