                            Hattori Forums High End Chefs Knives

  After years of the collaborative work with the KnifeForums "In the Kitchen" members and the premier knifemaker, Mr.Ichiro Hattori, we are proud to release our first JCK Original, FH Series Hattori / Forums high end Chef's knives.

  This was the project to design the most practical Kitchen knives by the knife enthusiasts for the knife enthusiasts, and we all got together to brainstorm the best sizes, shapes, balances etc for each knife. We have then finally determined 15 models of the most essential knife designs, and chosen Mr. Ichiro Hattori to make these knives to ensure the world's finest quality.

   However, it was difficult for Hattori to make 15 different models at one time, due to his limited capacity for the highest quality hand made knives, so we have decided to go first with the popular 8 models. For the blade steel, we have selected VG-10 Cobalt steel for the regular line and Cowry X powdered steel for the upgrade line. We will introduce the remaining seven VG-10 models and Cowry X upgrade versions later.

 

  For the handle material, the Black Linen Micarta was chosen for durability with solid stainless steel bolster and rivets. Each handle is hand contoured to fit your hand comfortably, and the full tang is tapered down for the perfect weight balance.

   With these specifications, Mr. Hattori came up with the hand made prototypes in February, 2006, and we have sent these protos to the Forums members for testing. According to the feedbacks of the testing results, some final modifications and improvements have been made, and the production has been arranged with Hattori.

   These knives were produced in very small batches to ensure a high level of quality and performance. Every detail in design and manufacture has been taken into consideration from the special heat treat process, to the hand shaped Micarta handle and to the balance, ergonomics and profile of each knife.

   After long waiting for over a year, Hattori has finally completed first 20Pcs. each of the 8 models in May, 2007, and shipped out these knives to the Forums members who were involved with this development. The reactions were terrific!! We have received many thanks letters saying these are the best knives they ever had.

   Now, we got the second batch from Hattori, and are pleased to bring these fine knives available for sales to the JCK customers. It is assured that you will find these knives to be the finest semi-custom chef knives available today.

   Again, many thanks to the KnifeForums members and Mr. Hattori for their collaborative effort, and also to the valued JCK customers for their continued support to make it possible to create this finest JCK Original products.
