Hado Junpaku Urushi Petty 150 mm Shirogami 1

A small but very handy knife for universal use – Hado Junpaku – has a blade length of 150 mm. It is an extremely useful tool, especially for processing small products, such as mushrooms, shallots, and garlic.

The exceptionally successful line of Japanese Hado Junpaku kitchen knives is the result of an entirely manual production process. Yoshikazu Tanaka (who forges the blades) and Tadataka Maruyama (who finishes and sharpens them) are responsible for the individual stages of their manufacture. It is worth noting that the core of the knives in this series is made of Shirogami #1 (White #1) carbon steel. It is protected by stainless steel cladding. One of the stages is also the hardening process, which makes the blades reach a high hardness level of approx. 63-64 HRC. Thanks to this, and the use of heat treatment, users can enjoy the additional advantages of the Hado Junpaku series knives, namely easy sharpening and long-lasting sharpness. Each knife has an extremely aesthetic, octagonal handle made of lacquered oak wood.

The Hado brand of Japanese knives is recommended for those who expect the highest quality and functionality from their kitchen accessories. It is ideal for both professional use and for cooking enthusiasts, who are also fascinated by the beautiful art of Japanese blacksmithing.
