The Hado Shiosai Bunka 17 cm SG2 is a refined Japanese knife featuring a dynamic Bunka profile with a kiritsuke style tip. It combines modern powdered steel performance with precise finishing work typical of Hado craftsmanship.
The blade is built around a SG2 R2 powdered stainless steel core, known for high hardness and strong edge retention. Heat treated to approximately 63 +/-1 HRC, it maintains sharpness through demanding kitchen tasks. Stainless cladding enhances corrosion resistance and simplifies maintenance.
A subtle Tsuchime hammered finish improves food release and adds texture to the blade. The thin geometry and precise sharpening by master sharpener Naohiro Nomura deliver smooth and controlled cutting performance. The pointed Bunka tip allows detailed and accurate work.
The octagonal oak handle provides stable grip and balanced handling. This knife reflects modern Japanese design combined with traditional sharpening expertise.
