HADO Kiritsuke Petty Ginsan Kijiro-nuri Cherry Octagonal Handle (150mm)

"HADO" is written as "the way of the blade." In Japan, "way" refers to the attitude of a person steadily moving forward, such as in the tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and martial arts.

It means taking one step at a time and striving for the highest peak.

We will continue to create products that "walk the path of the blade with dignity," never forgetting our pride as craftsmen.

The blade is made of Ginsan steel made by traditional craftsman Yamazuka Naotsugu, which gives the blade the sharpness of a forged blade while also providing rust resistance.

The handle is made of sturdy cherry wood and is finished with a Kijiro coating, which gives it a beautiful finish that combines a deep color and a transparent texture.

These highly functional knives are used in demanding professional environments, and in open kitchens where their beauty can be utilized and seen by many people.

Its high level of maintenance makes it an easy-to-use knife for home use.
