Hatsukokoro Hayabusa ATS-34 Migaki Kiritsuke 240 mm – RH Asymmetric Bevel

Hatsukokoro Hayabusa ATS-34 Migaki Kiritsuke 240 mm

A long, slender Japanese kitchen knife with a precise kiritsuke tip, a clean Migaki finish and an ATS-34 stainless steel core. The 240 mm blade gives you room for controlled slicing and everyday preparation, while its 50 mm heel height provides useful knuckle clearance. A slim spine tapers from 2.3 mm at the heel to a fine tip for detailed work.

Right-handed asymmetric bevel: this knife is intended for right-handed use. Preserve its existing asymmetry when sharpening; contact Tokushu Knife Malta if you need sharpening advice.

Steel and finish

The ATS-34 stainless core is supported by stainless cladding in a three-layer San Mai construction. The Migaki finish shows a fine brushed texture and the visible transition between the core and cladding. It offers the convenience of stainless steel while still benefiting from careful washing, prompt drying and proper storage.
