Kokorozashi 志

Brand that is made in JNS workshop Sharpened on Japanese horizontal wheels finished with Natural stones

Kokorozashi can be translated as: will, motivation, ambition, a sense of purpose, or personal mission With this brand i will strive to make the best i can, to make the grind the best i can and fit and finish the best as i can

That's why all will come with rounded and polished spine and choil, as flat bevel as possible — still with some convex of course And razor sharp out of the box

Blade is forged by Tanaka Yoshikazu in Sakai with his amazing White 2 steel heat-treat

Chuka Bocho (中華包丁) means Chinese kitchen knife in Japanese It is the Japanese take on the Chinese chef knife — think of it like a gyuto but in rectangle shape The tall blade makes it very easy to guide with your knuckles and scoop food off the board
It is a very versatile knife — great for slicing, chopping, mincing, crushing garlic Many people use it as their main chef knife and never need anything else

This version with White 2 is on the thinner side — it is a slicer, not a bone chopper The Kurouchi finish keeps it looking sharp even after heavy use

All knives JNS cary is handmade and made one by one, so they can vary in size and thickness. Unevenness in finish can occur.
