Hajimaru translates to "Begin" or to "Start", and it's a fitting name for these Japanese knives that were designed to be the perfect entry point into upgrading your knives at home. They are well constructed from tried and tested materials like Ginsan and VG10, all crafted in the Seki area, are easy to maintain (and to gift) and won't break the bank.

Knife Information
Who doesn't want a whale knife? Hand-forged carbon steel with soft iron clad. A perfect utility/chopper with great edge retention.
STEEL BREAKDOWN – Blue Steel is a traditional high-carbon steel made by Hitachi Metals in Japan. It is the favourite steel of many knife makers and chefs across the world for its fantastic edge holding ability, toughness, and ease of sharpening. It contains few stainless elements, and as such will develop a patina, and develop rust spots if left wet after use. It requires a little more care and maintenance than something like VG-10 (Stainless Steel), so consider this when purchasing a Blue Steel knife as your first Japanese knife.
