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.

We have selected simple white color main and elegant& natural Marble stone texture, we believe this new handle matches well with your stylish kitchen and it will be great addition to your special knife set for the existing owners of Hattori FH knives too.
