Hatsukokoro Hayabusa SG2 petty 120mm EN

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”.

Due to 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.

The Hayabusa line is manufactured in Seki, Japan. Seki-city is a world-renowned knife-making powerhouse that hosts the Seki City Cutlery Festival and attracts knife enthusiasts from around the world. These knives are finely ground with a slight convexity, which helps them glide through food easily.
The use of SG2 for a cutting steel makes these knives highly sought after for their easy maintenance and long life.
