Hayabusa means Strong and Fast in Japanese, which greatly sums up the characteristics of this line. Made in the Seki city of Gifu prefecture, the Hayabusa originates from the same areas where Shun knives are made.","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"120 mm","offer_id":44107116085469,"sku":"HT-HBVG5SWE-PT120","price":119.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"150 mm","offer_id":44107116118237,"sku":"HT-HBVG5SWE-PT150","price":129.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/HatsukokoroHayabusaVG5Petty120mmWesternHandleE.jpg?v=1695273762"},{"product_id":"hatsukokoro-hap40-ni-mai-yanagiba-300-330mm-mirror-polished","title":"Hatsukokoro HAP40 Mirror Polished Yanagiba 300\/330 mm","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasurements \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;

Compared the ZDP189, the HAP40 has less carbon content but offers even higher rockwell hardness hence offering even better edge retention. The HAP40 also offer better toughness compared to the ZDP189. This is the choice for those looking for the absoute best steel for edge retention. Sukenari has a very long history making single bevel knives for famous knife brands like Masamoto and Aritsugu, as a result their single bevel blades are highly appreciated by professionals in Japan.","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"300 mm","offer_id":44205178192093,"sku":"HT-HAP40NIMAI-YA300","price":849.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"330 mm","offer_id":44205178224861,"sku":"HT-HAP40NIMAI-YA330","price":1049.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/HatsukokoroHAP40Ni-maiYanagiba300mmMirrorPolishedB.jpg?v=1698139903"},{"product_id":"hatsukokoro-hayabusa-blue-2-rainbow-damascus-gyuto-210mm","title":"Hatsukokoro Hayabusa Blue 2 Rainbow Damascus Gyuto 210mm","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasurements \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 54.1842%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e210 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e163 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eTip to Heel Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e212 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eBlade Height at Heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e48 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWidth of Spine Above Heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e2.6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle of Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e2.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWidth of Spine at about 1 cm from tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e1.0 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSteel type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Blue 2 core with copper\/brass and stainless clad\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardness (HRC):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 62-63\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandle Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eK\u0026amp;S Teak wood handle.
