Description & specifications
The HADO Ginsan K-Tip Petty is a remarkable knife that combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern innovation. HADO, based in Sakai, Japan, is known for its outstanding knives, made in collaboration with skilled craftsmen such as Yoshikazu Tanaka and Tadataka Maruyama. This Petty knife is ideal for precision work, such as cutting meat and preparing vegetables, making it indispensable in any kitchen.
The knife is forged by Shogou Yamatsuka in three layers, with the Ginsan steel forming the core, surrounded by stainless layers.
