Hado Junpaku Urushi Gyuto 240 mm Shirogami 1

The chef's knife with a 240 mm blade – Hado Junpaku Urushi – is perfect for various kitchen tasks. It is especially recommended for chopping and cutting large pieces of meat.

The high-quality Hado Junpaku series of knives is handmade by the best craftsmen. Yoshikazu Tanaka is responsible for forging the blades, while Tadataka Maruyama is responsible for finishing and sharpening them. Stainless steel cladding surrounds a strong core made of carbon steel, which is called Shirogami#1 (or White#1). During hardening, each blade reaches a very high hardness of 63-64 HRC. The heat treatment of the steel, together with the mentioned hardening, ensures easy sharpening and excellent edge retention. The lacquered, octagonal handle is made of oak wood and looks exceptionally impressive.

Hado kitchen knives meet the needs of the most demanding chefs. They are the perfect choice for both professionals and those who are passionate about cooking and admire the craftsmanship of Japan.
