Description & specifications
Hatsukokoro is a brand from Amagasaki near Osaka City. They collaborate with various blacksmiths and sharpeners all over Japan, developing new series in an attempt to create some of the best knives in the world, as well as very good knives in a lower price range to cater to all different needs.
The Hikari series is made with semi-stainless steel, SLD in the core and stainless cladding. Beautiful polish and fit 'n' finish, relatively thin behind the edge, and relatively low maintenance for the semi-stainless alloy.
You can expect a super light, fast 'laser' that cuts well and holds its edge for a long time – the complete package at a reasonable price.
All in all, these can go from an excellent starter knife all the way up to a good tool in the professional kitchen.

Maintenance & use
