Hatsukokoro x Nigara VG XEOS Kurozome Damascus Gyuto
The latest collaboration between Hatsukokoro and Nigara brings back the spirit of one of their most memorable early releases. For those who remember the first-generation Anmon series, this knife carries a familiar sense of depth, movement, and atmosphere — a true return to that expressive Nigara texture.
The blade features a flowing Suminagashi Damascus pattern, moving across the surface like ink on paper. This is paired with Nigara’s signature Kurozome finish, adding a darker tone and greater visual depth to the blade face.
Under the light, the surface reveals subtle silver, crystal-like details within the pattern, giving the knife a finish that feels both quiet and dynamic.
At the core is VG XEOS, a next-generation stainless steel from Takefu Special Steel. Known for its outstanding corrosion resistance and high hardness, VG XEOS offers excellent edge retention while maintaining solid toughness for daily kitchen use. It takes on an incredibly sharp edge with ease, offering a clean and precise cutting experience.
As a gyuto, this knife is designed as a versatile all-purpose chef’s knife, suitable for slicing, chopping, push-cutting, and general prep work. The combination of stainless performance, dramatic Damascus texture, and Nigara’s distinctive finishing makes this piece equally appealing as a serious kitchen tool and a visually captivating blade.
Subtle, dynamic, and completely captivating — a modern Hatsukokoro x Nigara collaboration with the soul of a classic.
- Don't cut hard things! Japanese knives are brittle so bone hacking is a NO NO!
- Wash with neutral detergent after use, and wipe dry;
- Please don't wash knife with dishwasher, it will damage the wood handle;
- Be careful not to leave the knife close to a heat source for a long time;
- It is a lot more dangerous to cut with a blunt knife than a sharp knife!
- It is best to sharpen a Japanese knife regularly on a waterstone.
