By using the incredible Aogami #1 (Blue #1) steel and cladding it in intricately layered damascus steel (hence B1D), they’ve crafted an Excalibur-esque kitchen blade that wows me every time I use it. The confident weight and extreme sharpness of Hado knives means I barely have to push when slicing and the blade just drops through vegetables. It’s functional art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile the blacksmith handles the forging and hardening to ensure the knife keeps a crazy sharp edge for a long time, the sharpener uses their mastery of steel grinding and polishing to turn a raw piece of forged steel into a precision tool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNomura-san of HADO is one such master sharpener.

Any guesses on what “Ko” means in Japanese? You nailed it! It translates to “small.” This little knife is awesome because it still gives you knuckle clearance on the cutting board. Making sure you can mince garlic and comfortably chop veggies. A badass love child of the Bunka and Petty knife, it works for smaller jobs in the hand or as an all-purpose blade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hado Sakai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46103781834926,"sku":"FK-1000249","price":856.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/HadoSakaiSumiB1DKo-Bunka135mmCherryBarkHandle1.jpg?v=1784913576","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.com\/en-au\/products\/hado-sakai-sumi-b1d-ko-bunka-135mm-cherry-bark-handle","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
