Hatsukokoro is more than just a nameāitās a quiet homage to the respect Japan holds for craftsmanship, tradition, and the artisans behind each blade. Since 2013, from their base in Amagasaki City, Hatsukokoro has collaborated with some of Japanās most respected smiths, sharpeners, and handle makers. Their house brand showcases the skill of these often-uncredited masters, allowing the knives themselves to tell the story.
The HikariĀ Series is one of their most striking creations. Forged from high-performance stainless Damascus steel, these blades feature a dark, smoky finish that highlights the depth and complexity of the layered construction. The cutting core delivers reliable sharpness and edge retention, while the Damascus cladding provides both durability and an unmistakable aesthetic that stands out in any kitchen.
What sets this series apart is its balance of beauty and performance. The grind is thin, precise, and agile, making it effortless to maneuver through fine prep work. A subtle polish and the flowing Damascus pattern add visual drama, while the darker ākuroā treatment gives each knife an elegant, refined character. Completing the look is an octagonal stabilized wood handleācomfortable in hand and designed to complement the bladeās bold presence.
The Bunka profile, recognizable by its angled tip and tall blade, is a highly versatile shape suited for a wide range of kitchen tasks ā from slicing and dicing to precise vegetable work. Combined with the balanced octagonal wa-handle, it delivers both comfort and control while bringing a bold, modern aesthetic to a classic Japanese knife design.
Kakushin can handle the blade-to-handle assembly for you at our shop. If you're new to the custom knife world and want to confirm the fit and sizing of a handle with a specific blade, feel free to reach out!
