Hatsukokoro Komorebi + Knife Giveaway 

Do NOT text the number associated to the "Shortlisted Winners" reply. It is a bot. Good luck everyone!

Home use for sure, would start with something like coleslaw to knock through cabbage, carrots, red onions, pickles, and herbs. Lots of textures and densities on the cutting board, but nothing this knife couldn't handle!

Of course I will use it in my kitchen! A true test will be cutting tomatoes when it first arrives just to test out the sharpness out of the box.

Definitely use it for work, the design of the knife is just beautiful. Since im doing Niku Bar ( Japanese Meat Bar ) where as customer see my set up, this particular beuty Definitely need to be out to show to customers, and i dont have a gyuto on my collection 😉😁

If I was lucky enough to win the giveaway knife it would probably get used at home first to break down some beef and potatoes for a slow cook. Then it might make its way into work to just run through the daily prep, give it a good workout and make the boys on the line jealous.

100% for home use only. I wouldn’t dare bring such a beautiful knife at my workplace, it might get stolen and get abused. I think the first thing i’d prepare with that knife would be some dense ingredients, like carrots and potatoes. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a beautiful knife!

Oh my sweet heaven this would be loved in my kitchen !! What a amazing knife from amazing craftsmen

I Don't use a Chef knives at work so this will be a home dedicated kitchen knives. It would be great user on general but first thing comes to mind is to cut a juicy slices of papaya with it.

This belongs to the homemaker of course. Will stir up my favourite classic cabbage roll. The knives in this situation is invaluable!

What a beautiful knife to add to the collection. I would be using this at home. For cutting my carrot, cucumber, red onion cilantro and more for a fresh garden salad.

Hi Adam, for me this would be a home use knife. The first thing I would prep would be onions, carrots and celery for as pot of Bolognese sauce, one of my favourites.

Ive seen these knives start to pop up on various knife shop sites and have been interested. It would be a nice piece to add to the collection and would keep it at home.

Just a home chef here. The first thing it would be used on would probably be onion and bell pepper. Those go in so much of my cooking.

I'd be using this knife at home, would love to do a meal with plenty of prep using a variety of hard dense vegetables and softer produce, maybe something like a stir fry or stew. Absolutely stunning knife!

I’d use it at home. First thing I’d cook with it is a fancy poutine. Love cutting shallots and potatoes. I’m sure this knife would love going through PEI potatoes.

Would definitely be using it at home. I would probably try it out on some onions, potatoes to see how food sticks and how well it can handle a dice!

I realise the generosity you show as an example. Definitely like to take part in the awesome giveaway. It is definitely for the home use, plus I cook a lot. Roast chicken is high on my to cook list.

I'd use it at home... and while I often think of onions as the first thing I'd cut with a new knife, I'll go with new PEI potatoes, which, as we all know, are the best.

What a beautiful knife. I will keep this knife at home and use it as a regular go-to knife. Mostly to cut vegetables with great precision

What a beauty! I stay in a student accommodation with a couple of housemates , none of which can cook lol so I've become the de facto house dad/cook (using in a home setting). I'd use the gyuto to cut up all kinds of stir-fry veggies that are good for gauging performance like garlic, ginger, shallots, scallions, etc. Maybe some carrots and marrows too, followed by honing the wok skills.

That knife is too beautiful to use at work. It is the perfect home knife. We eat a lot of onions and garlic so that would be the first things we cut with it.

Happy to be included in the giveaway bro. Count me in. I will replace my old kitchen knives with this baby if I am so fortunate to have it. My plan is to celebrate by cooking my favourite tenderloin steak diane.

Sweet knife! The first thing I'd prep with it at home would be vegetable potage; simple but satisfying!

That's a beautiful gyuto. I would be using it at home, I'm not a professional cook or chef. I'd probably be using it to prep a beef stew, lots of veggies from hard to soft that need to be chopped up!

I would use this knife at home cooking my family a meal! I think i would cut up some onions for an amazing french onion soup. I was also in the shop this week and got a little knife and i love it so sharp and handy! Everyone that was there was so nice and helpful. Thank you.

Terrific knife, feels handy! Target for sliding fish like salmon or tuna, even chopping veggies. I‘ll definitely use for work!

Hi Adam. You carry so many beautiful lines now, I think I will need to add another room to the house for them all. 😉. I would be using this knife at home for dinner prep. Given it’s bbq season, it would likely be for some kind of smoker based meal - pulled pork sandwiches and homemade slaw first comes to mind. I hope you are all having as great a summer as we are here, although it it passing all too quickly. Will stop in again on our next trip out east.

Gorgeous knives the first thing I would use that beauty for at home would be to plow through a ton of onions to make a delicious French onion soup.

It's a great looking knife. I would use it at home in my kitchen to prepare various specialties, but first of all I would try it in chopping onions and tomatoes

Will definitely reserve this one for home use. I fancy a lamb chop and will also make some cream cheese smash potato too. The knife will certainly come in handy when preparing for it.

Since I am humble homecook, I will be using it at home. Onion and carrots are the first thing I use a new knife on, just to test the waters. Maybe cutting a steak for some crazy patina it would be a nice idea as well.

No doubt this will be in the family collection. My wife is a vegan and I like to make her a bowl of salad from time to time.

The first thing I would like to try with it is skinning and portioning some salmon. Then probably some veg prep, then move on to using it for my meat slicing knife during dinner service.

Gorgeous. I work in a sushi restaurant in mtl, would use this everyday for prep and service! Enjoyed meeting you guys!

I will use it at home and cook up a storm. First thing to cut test is bread. Sounds simple but bread is the most difficult to get a clean cut if the blade is not up to task.

Hey Adam! I definitely would use this at work. My 11yr old Whustoff is on her last rodeo, ready for retirement id say! First thing I’d cut would be some mirepoix. Nothing beats the smell of mirepoix sweating away…
