Hatsukokoro Coreless Blue #2 / White #2 Damascus Gyuto 210mm
Currently out of stock (When is it back?) (0)
A beautiful pair of gyuto that were made to the design and specification of the president of Hatsukokoro by Nigara Hamono with who they have an excellent working relationship having collaborated on many products in recent years.
This pair of coreless gyuto were very generously offered to us on our visit to the Hatsukokoro team in November 2024.
There are just two knives available and while the general specifications are approximately the same, the finishes are quite different so they are offered as #1 and #2 and the photos on this page are of the two exact knives available.
Knife #1 is the lighter cladding finish and knife #2 is the dark kurouchi cladding finish.

Care Tip – Reactive Carbon Steel
The core (and on some ranges, the cladding steel too) of this knife is made using a carbon steel which can react with moisture and acids in your food and so is not stainless or rust-proof.
Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
Protection & care for this knife
Due to the thickness of the spine, only a large size blade guard will fit this knife.
