Description & specifications
HADO Knives is a relatively new player in the game, based in the knife Mecca's capital, Sakai, Japan. They have truly made a name for themselves in the market with their incredibly well-made and coveted products. They collaborate with some fantastic craftsmen such as Yoshikazu Tanaka.
These knives are made by the aforementioned gentleman. Tanaka-san has constructed the knife in 3 layers with Shirogami #1 in the core, surrounded by softer stainless steel.
Sharpener Naohiro Nomura's work here is truly world-class. A true Sakai laser profile, with a thin blade and a fantastic grind. A wide-bevel grind that exposes plenty of core steel, and a formidable kasumi finish.
We have to admit, we are completely blown away by these knives.
