Hatsokokoro strives to be the bridge between Japan and the world with their selection of beautiful knives handmade by some of Japan's best bladesmiths. Since its establishment in 2013, H&K Co. Ltd has sought out the best products Japan has to offer and developed sales channels to distribute them all over the world. They then developed their original brand “Hatsukokoro”. The word Hatsukokoro stems from the Japanese proverb “don’t forget your original intention”.
