The Hatsukokoro Kujaku (孔雀 – Peacock) is a breathtaking statement piece. Forged in Seki City by one of Japan’s most respected workshops, this blade features a V-Toku 2 carbon steel core - Takefu's equivalent to Blue #2. With added vanadium and tungsten, V-Toku 2 delivers outstanding wear resistance, fine edge formation, and working hardness up to 64 HRC.

What sets the Kujaku apart is its rainbow damascus cladding: intricate layers of copper, brass, and stainless steel, etched to reveal shifting tones of gold, violet, and silver that shimmer like peacock feathers. Beyond its beauty, the etched surface also forms a protective layer, slowing rust development on the carbon steel core.

Thin behind the edge with a subtle convex grind, the Kujaku balances refined cutting performance with the durability needed for daily use. Rounded spine and choil ensure comfortable handling and a premium in-hand feeling.

Ideal for cooks who value both function and artistry - or as a remarkable gift - the Kujaku embodies Hatsukokoro’s pursuit of innovation in modern Japanese knife design.
