Hatsukokoro is a brand that works with many blacksmiths, sharpeners and knife manufacturers from all over Japan in order to bring you knives with an excellent quality to price ratio. This doesn't mean their knives come cheap, but the quality of finishes, heat treatment and grind that you get for every dollar paid would exceed the industry average. Among their line up are knives made by Nakagawa, Yoshikane, Myojin, Yauji, and many more. Many collections are specifically commissioned and produced for Hatsukokoro and you won't be able to see these lines with any other brands.

The word Hayabusa translates to Falcon. You'll typically see this word used as a name for high performance bikes and fighter jets. In the same spirit, the SG2 Hayabusa collection from Hatsukokoro is the definition of high performance. While not a true laser, these knives are ground thin. Thin enough that the blade easily bites into anything you cut (be careful with your fingers), but not too thin as to become incredibly fragile. In addition, the convexed and migaki (polished) blade allows the blade to effortlessly cut through hard produce.

At its core is SG2 powdered stainless steel with a hardness of approximately 62 HRC, SG2 combines remarkable sharpness and outstanding edge retention. Thanks to its fine microstructure, it can achieve a finer edge than many traditional steels while retaining that sharpness for significantly longer. As a fully stainless steel, it also offers superb corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for both professional and home kitchens.
