Brand Introduction
“Hatsukokoro” originates from the Japanese proverb meaning “never forget your original intention.”
The name adopts the softer kun-yomi reading of “初心,” reflecting sincerity and the pursuit of creating products that continuously bring freshness and surprise to customers.
Material Introduction
V-Toku-2 is a high-purity alloy carbon steel developed by Takefu Special Steel as an evolution of Hitachi’s classic Blue Paper #2 steel.
It closely resembles Blue #2 in composition but includes small amounts of tungsten (W) and vanadium (V). Through more refined smelting, the impurities are reduced and the grain structure becomes finer.
🌸Features & Performance
* High carbon content (≈1.05%), reaching HRC 62–64 hardness with excellent quenching ability.
* Tungsten and vanadium promote fine carbide formation, improving wear resistance and edge retention beyond Blue #2.
* Excellent cutting performance with a thin, sharp, and smooth cutting feel.
* Stable heat treatment and better grindability compared to other high-hardness steels.
* As a high-carbon alloy steel, it is reactive and requires drying and regular oil maintenance.
Knife Model Introduction
The Wagyu knife, also known as “Gyuto,” is a professional Japanese chef’s knife designed for slicing, trimming, and portioning beef, especially premium Wagyu.
Its long blade enables smooth, continuous slicing that preserves the integrity and texture of the meat.
Favored by professional chefs and home cooks alike, it excels in precision meat preparation.
Handles and blade materials vary—common choices include stainless steel or high-carbon steel blades with wooden or composite handles for comfortable, stable grip.
