Hatsukokoro Kurosagi Gyuto 240mm collection-konosuke-sld An excellent value all rounder

An excellent value all rounder made with an superb steel and out of the box sharpness and one we'd recommend as an ideal first Japanese knife or addition to an existing collection

It's a very solid all rounder we already love

The kurosagi is great fun to use from the moment you take it out of the box

the ko-bunka is great for working on your smaller ingredients and herbs

We recommend thinking about using the honing rod in the same way as a polishing stone and combine it with a leather strop for the final steps in blade care
