Hatsukokoro Yorokobi Santoku Handle material:Ebony & Black Buffalo A long but nimble pettyOne of Hatsukokoro's most visually striking knives, the Yorokobi has evolved from the early polished cladding finishes into this true piece of art with the kurouchi finish bringing out the copper waves even more. This knife not only looks incredible, everything about it is of the higest performance standard thanks to the hollow grind, thin edge and subtle distal taper.
