Hado Junpaku Santoku 170 mm Shirogami #1

The multi-purpose Hado Junpaku Santoku kitchen knife with a 17 cm long blade is an indispensable tool for a variety of culinary tasks. It makes chopping and slicing incredibly enjoyable activities. The kitchen knives from the unique Hado Junpaku collection are the result of a meticulous, manual manufacturing process. The blades are forged by Yoshikazu Tanaka and then finished and sharpened with precision by Tadataka Maruyama. The blade is made of a core of Shirogami#1 carbon steel, also known as White#1, surrounded by protective claddings of high-grade stainless steel. As a result, the knives achieve an impressive hardness of up to 63-64 HRC. In addition, both the hardening and heat treatment of the steel contribute to the exceptional properties of these knives – they are easy to sharpen and maintain their sharpness for a long time. The handle of the knife is made of magnolia wood and has an octagonal shape, which gives it an aesthetic appearance. Hado specializes in producing excellent kitchen knives that meet the expectations of even the most demanding users. They perform perfectly in both professional hands and in the kitchens of amateurs who appreciate the unique character of Japanese blacksmithing.
