Hado Junpaku Santoku 17 cm Shirogami#1

The Hado Junpaku Santoku multi-purpose kitchen knife with a 17 cm blade is an indispensable tool for a variety of culinary tasks. It makes chopping and cutting extremely enjoyable.

The kitchen knives from the unique Hado Junpaku collection are the result of a careful manual manufacturing process. The blades are forged by Yoshikazu Tanaka, and then finished and sharpened with precision by Tadataka Maruyama. The blade is made of a core of Shirogami #1 carbon steel, also known as White #1, surrounded by protective cladding of high-quality stainless steel. As a result, the knives achieve an impressive hardness of up to 63-64 HRC. In addition, both the hardening and heat treatment of the steel translate into the unique properties of these knives – they are easy to sharpen, and maintain their sharpness for a long time. The knife handle is made of magnolia wood and has an octagonal shape, which gives it an aesthetic appearance.

Hado specializes in the production of excellent kitchen knives that meet the expectations of even the most demanding users. They are perfect for both professional chefs and amateur cooks who appreciate the unique character of Japanese blacksmithing.
