Hatsukokoro Kurokaze Blue 2 Kurouchi K-Tip Deba 150mm Double Bevel
$199.95
Imported directly from Japan.









This is a Hatsukokoro Hayabusa HAP40 Damascus Gyuto in a Western handle, offered in 210mm and 240mm lengths, the all-purpose chef's shape for the home kitchen.
HAP40 is a Hitachi powdered tool steel, and the listing is blunt about why people buy it: a hardness of HRC64 to HRC66 and edge retention it says will stretch out the time between sharpenings even under frequent use. The listing pairs that steel with a Western handle and Damascus cladding for cooks who want the familiar grip and heft in hand rather than a light wa-handle. The spec table lists the 240mm at 196g.
The cladding is semi-stainless soft iron but the core takes care: rinse and dry the blade as you finish cooking, oil it before long storage, and keep it out of the dishwasher.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
