After years of the collaborative work with the Knife Forums "In the Kitchen" members and the premier knife maker, Mr.Ichiro Hattori, we are proud to introduce our first JCK Original, FH Series Hattori / Forums high end Chef's knives.                             

Hattori FH Series knife is produced in very small batches to ensure a high level of quality and performance. Every detail in design and manufacture has been taken into consideration from the special heat treat process, to the hand contoured handle and to the balance, ergonomics and profile of each knife.

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.

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 long, narrow, graceful blade of the Sujihiki is particularly useful for trimming away sinew and fat from meat, finely slicing meat or boneless fish, or for filleting and skinning fish. The long blade allows the meat or fish to be cut in one single drawing motion, from heel to tip.

Knife Model: Hattori Forums FH Solid VG-10 Series Sujihiki 

Blade Material: Solid VG-10 Stainless Steel

Rockwell Hardness (HRc): 60 to 61

Blade Grind and Edge Shape: Double Bevel Edge 50/50

Handle Material: Stabilized Maple Wood Handle with Stainless Steel Bolster

Saya Included: No.

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.
