Yoake (夜明け) means “Dawn.” I chose this theme for my first collection because dawn symbolizes a new beginning, the arrival of a new day. After Joonetsu’s transition to Yuki and the opening of the store, this period is a renewal for me, and I’m very happy to share it with you! The signature colors of this collection will be yellow/gold, orange, white, and purple.

Since its inception 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, the identity of certain blacksmiths sometimes remains a mystery, which makes things a little more exciting.

Designed entirely by hand, it is part of the Yoake collection, which consists of only 6 pieces. The handle is made of hybrid robinia burl with resin and a buffalo horn bolster.
The Hayabusa line is made 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 easily through food.
The use of HAP40 as a cutting steel makes these knives highly sought after for their easy maintenance and long life.
The Yoake x Hatsukokoro HAP40 gyuto 210mm is the Japanese equivalent of a Western chef’s knife. This extremely versatile blade lends itself to many uses in the kitchen.
