Hado Junpaku Urushi Santoku 180 mm Shirogami 1

The Hado Junpaku Urushi Santoku multi-purpose kitchen knife with a 180 mm blade is useful for many culinary tasks. With its help, chopping and cutting become truly enjoyable activities.

The exquisite kitchen knives from the Hado Junpaku collection are manufactured in successive stages of a manual process. One of these stages is the forging of the blade, which is carried out by Yoshikazu Tanaka, while the subsequent stages involve finishing and sharpening, which are the responsibility of Tadataka Maruyama. The core of Shirogami #1 carbon steel, also known as White #1, is surrounded by protective cladding made of stainless steel. As a result of hardening, the knives acquire a high hardness of up to 63-64 HRC. In addition, both hardening and heat treatment of the steel contribute to the additional advantages of the knives in this series – they are very easy to sharpen, and retain their sharpness for a long time. The lacquered handle, with its beautiful octagonal shape, is made of oak wood.

Hado is a brand that produces excellent kitchen knives that meet the needs of the most demanding users. They are perfect for professional chefs, as well as amateur cooks who appreciate the artistry of Japanese blacksmithing.
