Product Description
100% Organic! Or very nearly.
Your Otsuka bannou will be unique - each and every one is the result of close creative collaboration between Cocoro Store and Otsuka Hamono. Cocoro meets kire-aji - heart meets cutting feel.
Over a number of years Cocoro Store's Tanaka san has developed an expertise in curing, crafting and fitting these natural Yamazakura mountain cherry handles. We've held a number of them and the comfort is almost spiritual. Overstatement? You'll see. Things are pretty great at the business end too. Pay attention to the deep blade path. Gives us goosebumps.
Please measure your palm and let us know your dominant hand so that Tanaka san may work his magic in selecting a handle just for you.
OK, now for the not so great news. Waiting times have blown out for all of Otsuka san's knives. Fulfilment may be 6-12 months hence. It's all somewhat uncertain. We're happy to accept your order and make arrangements but this is a set-and-forget order. Payment can be made when your knife is ready to ship.

So lucky

It took me a minute to get used to the handle but it does indeed feel like an extension of my hand. The blade has nice heft and is perfectly balanced by the handle. Super sharp out of the box and I can’t wait to sharpen it to see what kind of edge it will take.
