The Custom Limited Edition knife is from the great Master Hattori !

Master Hattori has used a unique, beautifully figured piece of Blue Color Stabilized Box Elder Wood for the handle of each Gyuto 240mm Knife. The wooden handle and Stainless Steel bolster have been carefully hand-contoured to provide a perfect grip and superb blade balance. Perfectly polished Stabilized Box Elder Wood makes beautiful accent and coloring, is also highly water-resistant and will not split or crack as a result of rapidly changing humidity levels.

This Hattori Custom Limited Edition Gyuto 240mm knife is "One-of-a-Kind" and available with only 5Pcs.

After years of collaborative development between the Knife Forums “In the Kitchen” members and the renowned master craftsman Mr. Ichiro Hattori, we are proud to introduce our first JCK Original — the Hattori FH Series, a line of high-end chef’s knives born from passion and precision.

Each Hattori FH knife is produced in very small batches to ensure exceptional quality, accuracy, and performance. Every detail — from Hattori’s special heat treatment process to the finely contoured handle design and the perfect balance and ergonomics — reflects his uncompromising craftsmanship.

The blade is made of Solid VG-10 Cobalt Steel (HRC60 to 61). Even though it is simple appearance, we can feel the Hattori’s detailed works high level of craftsmanship from finely hand sharpened and polished blade.

The final sharpening process is done manually by Hattori to ensure a precise and consistent 50/50 edge shape, this means your Hattori knife can cut foods smoothly and precisely immediately after opening the box.

The Gyuto, the Japanese interpretation of the classic Western chef’s knife, is a true multi-purpose knife. It excels in a wide variety of cutting techniques and is ideal for slicing meats, fish, vegetables, and fruits with precision and ease.

For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.  

We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and sharp edge with your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for long times.
