The Ginga (Galaxy) line is a recent creation from Hatsukokoro in collaboration with Yoshihiro Yauji, a talented blacksmith honored as a Traditional Craftsman in Takefu Knife Village at a young age. Having trained under Hideo Kitaoka, Yauji gained renown for his own knives, distinguished by their impeccable craftsmanship and precision.
These knives showcase a polished Damascus finish and are forged from ATS-34, a high-end stainless steel by Hitachi. ATS-34 is prized for its high carbon and chromium content, delivering exceptional durability, resistance to wear, and protection against corrosion.
Each detail of the Ginga line reflects meticulous craftsmanship, including a smoothly rounded and polished spine that enhances both the knives' appearance and ergonomic comfort during use.
