Overview
The Hatsukokoro Kujaku V-Toku2 Rainbow Damascus Gyuto 210mm (No Handle) is a premium blade-only gyuto for makers and chefs who want to choose their own wa handle and dial in perfect balance. A V-Toku2 carbon-steel core (similar in behavior to Blue #2) delivers excellent edge formation and wear resistance at high hardness, while stainless rainbow-Damascus cladding provides corrosion protection and the signature “peacock feather” look.
Because this ships without a handle, you get maximum flexibility: pick your favorite octagonal wa, set the balance point for your grip, and build a one-of-a-kind cutter. Expect a thin, lively grind with a robust spine for stability and a keen tip for precise work. Typical handled versions measure ~213mm at the edge with ~2.5mm spine at the heel—your final weight and overall length will depend on the handle you install.
Common Questions
Q: Is the 210mm Kujaku good for home cooks as well as pros?
A: Absolutely. The 210mm length is the “do-everything” size—long enough for proteins and tall veg, compact enough for smaller boards. Choose a lightweight wa handle for a nimble, tip-forward feel or a denser wood for neutral balance.
Q: How do I care for V-Toku2 carbon steel with stainless Damascus cladding?
A: Hand-wash and dry immediately, wipe the edge during service, and apply a thin coat of tsubaki (camellia) oil for storage. Touch up on a fine stone and finish with a few passes on our Tokushu XL leather strop to keep the bite between full sharpenings.
Q: Can you install a handle and ship it ready to use?
A: Yes—add the blade to cart and message us to choose a wa handle. We can also provide our pro sharpening service so it arrives service-ready. For edge longevity, pair it with a Hasegawa Pro cutting board.
