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 latest FH “NOAH” Series features Hattori’s newly upgraded VG-10 Clad Steel blade. The core is made of VG-10 high-carbon stainless steel, supported by outer layers of 420J2 stainless steel that enhance toughness, durability, and corrosion resistance while making re-sharpening easier. This clad construction maintains the outstanding sharpness, edge retention, and smooth cutting feel that Hattori knives are celebrated for. Each blade is carefully hand-ground and hand-sharpened to achieve a thin cross section and a fine cutting edge (HRC 60–61).
Hattori wanted to proudly show the advantages of the “SAN-MAI” (“3-layer”) blade construction technique and Japan’s most reputable stainless steel, VG-10. The wide exposure of the VG-10 core near the edge gives the blade a distinctive, solid appearance — conveying both strength and refined elegance. We believe our customers will enjoy the exceptional cutting precision and smooth, sturdy feel of these knives, which is quite similar to a mono-steel knife due to the careful selection of tough 420J2 stainless steel cladding.
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.
For the handle material, Master Hattori carefully selected natural taste and color of Stabilized Maple Wood, which has a unique and natural woodgrain pattern and a fresh light color. The perfect shape and countors of the handles further showcases Hattori's fine custom handwork. "Natural beauty" and "warmness" are the words that best describe the new Hattori FH Series Sujihiki knife with Stabilized Maple Wood Handle.
Mr. Hattori believes a comfortable and well balanced handle is just as important as a good blade. Accordingly, he not only carefully considers the external looks of the handle, but also the durability. When I first gripped one of these handcrafted, natural wood handles, I immediately noted the warm, silky feel and comfortable contours; I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
The Hattori Gyuto 240mm, 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.
The name “Noah” carries a positive meaning.
It is often associated with peace, comfort, and renewal.
In the biblical story, Noah symbolizes hope, protection, and a new beginning — guiding life safely through difficult times toward a fresh start.

Gyuto 240mm (9.4") |
This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.
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.
