Hatsukokoro Kumokage Aogami damascus sujihiki 255mm EN

Since its founding in 2013, H&K Co. Ltd. has sought out the finest 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 some blacksmiths sometimes remains a mystery, which adds a touch of excitement.
