Since its establishment in 2013, H&K Co. Ltd has sought out the best products Japan has to offer. In 2019, we developed our original brand “Hatsukokoro”. The word Hatsukokoro comes from the Japanese proverb “don’t forget your original intention”.
As a result of the contracts stipulated between the brand and the blacksmiths, sometimes the identity of certain blacksmiths remains a mystery, which makes things a little more exciting.

Takahiro Nihei is another talented young blacksmith who studied in Sanjo under Yoshikane Hamono. All of his work on these blades is done in-house, from rolling the steel to sharpening the knives, his attention to detail is on full display. Takahiro san is also known for his incredible work with the famous Konosuke knife brand.
For Shinkiro knives he uses Aogami Super steel for the edge which has been hand forged with an extremely beautiful damascus coating combined with a beautiful kurouchi finish. Aogami Super steel is the favorite of many blacksmiths and users, on the one hand for being a relatively simple steel to forge and on the other hand, it results in a knife that is ultra easy to sharpen and becomes incredibly sharp.
