HADO Ginsan Kiritsuke 240 mm

The Japanese Kiritsuke knife, which has a wide blade profile, is particularly versatile in Western cuisine. It can be described as a combination of the best features of two well-known knives – Gyuto and Nakiri.

The successful Hado Ginsan Sakura series of kitchen knives includes knives that are 100% handmade. Shogou Yamatsuka is responsible for forging the blades, while Tadataka Maruyama specializes in finishing and sharpening the knives. One of their advantages is a hard core made of special Ginsan – Silver #3 steel. The cladding surrounding the core is made of stainless steel. Hardening makes the blades extremely hard (within the range of 62-63 HRC), and, together with heat treatment, this makes each blade easy to sharpen. It is also worth mentioning that these blades stay sharp for a very long time. Another characteristic feature of this series is the octagonal, cherry wood handle, which looks beautiful and fits comfortably in the hand.

Hado is a brand of kitchen knives recommended primarily for the most demanding professionals, as well as culinary enthusiasts who appreciate the unique art of Japanese blacksmithing.
