─── Core Steel ▪️ Ginsan (Silver 3) ───
▸ Ginsan (Gingami No.3 / G3) is a high-grade stainless steel developed by Hitachi Metals, Japan.
▸ Features high carbon and high chromium content, enriched with elements such as vanadium and molybdenum.
▸ Boasts exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and wear resistance, making it relatively easy to maintain.
─── Artisan Soul ▪️ Hatsukokoro ───
Established in 2019 in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, this brand collaborates with renowned blacksmiths and workshops across Japan to co-develop products. Known for outstanding cutting performance, exquisite designs, and high cost-performance ratio (value for money), it is highly favored among kitchen knife enthusiasts.
The brand name "Hatsukokoro" originates from the Japanese proverb "never forget your original intention" (sho-shin), utilizing the softer Japanese kun-yomi reading "Hatsukokoro" rather than the on-yomi reading.
Staying true to their core values, they strive to craft products that bring freshness and delightful surprises to customers.

☆【 Care & Maintenance 】
Although stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, it may still rust under humid, high-salinity, or damaged conditions. It is recommended to keep it dry and perform routine cleaning and maintenance.
☆【 Professional After-Sales Sharpening Service 】
We provide in-store professional knife sharpening services to ensure your beloved blade remains at peak performance.
⚠️ Avoid Extremely Hard Objects ⚠️
Strictly prohibited from chopping frozen ingredients or hard bones to prevent edge chipping, deformation, or structural damage.
⚠️ No Dishwashers or Dish Dryers ⚠️
Do not put in dishwashers or heated dish dryers; high heat and harsh detergents will damage both the blade and handle.
⚠️ Standard Cleaning Procedure ⚠️
Hand wash with warm water after use, dry thoroughly immediately with a dry cloth or soft towel, and store in a well-ventilated, dry place.
❁【 Exchange/Return Policy Regarding Aesthetic Crafting Marks 】
All high-end kitchen knives sold in our store are authentic products directly from the manufacturer. Because the manufacturing process involves hand-sharpening, edge beveling, and sheath-fitting tests, slight fine scratches on the blade surface are "normal factory conditions" and not quality defects. We strictly inspect every piece before shipping. Perfectionists, please consider carefully before placing an order.
❁【 Friendly Reminder 】
All product photos are taken from actual items. However, due to lighting, angles, or individual monitor/screen settings, slight color variations may exist between photos and actual products. Buyers highly sensitive to color differences should consider carefully before ordering. The actual product received shall prevail.
