The multi-purpose Hado Ginsan Santoku kitchen knife with a 180 mm long blade is the ideal tool for chopping and slicing, offering not only exceptional functionality but also an aesthetically pleasing dark blade that makes working with it a pure pleasure. The unique Hado Ginsan series of kitchen knives gains fame through precise manual manufacturing. Shogou Yamatsuka is responsible for forging the blades, while the tasks related to finishing and sharpening belong to Tadataka Maruyama. The blade is made of steel called Ginsan (Silver#3), and the core is surrounded by claddings made of stainless steel. The hardening process gives the blades an impressive hardness reaching 62-63 HRC. This process, combined with the heat treatment of the steel, contributes to the exceptional ease of sharpening. Additionally, each knife maintains incredible sharpness for a long time. The octagonal-shaped handle is made of beautiful walnut wood, which further emphasizes the product’s handiness and elegance. Hado Japanese kitchen knives are especially recommended for professional chefs who expect the highest quality and functionality.
