Hatsukokuro Yoake series (dawn) are a very robust hand forged iron clad aogami 1 with a very thick spine that tapers to a fine point. Very tall heels and very thick spines at the neck give these a very big capable feel.
These have a very robust feel but despite this they are thin grind behind the edge for smooth cutting but are best suited for those familiar with the demands of a Japanese knife. No twisting or scraping the edge and especially no cutting bones or other hard items.
This knife has a hard carbon steel core with iron cladding for added durability. The entire blade will develop a patina with use, especially with acidic foods. Special attention is needed to keep from rusting. Do not leave wet. Hand wash & dry, no dishwasher. Hardwood-end grain or softwood long grain cutting boards are preferred; avoid bamboo and plastic cutting boards. Rust can be removed with a light abrasive.
