Product description
This is a beautiful Hado Damascus forged by Y. Tanaka in Blue #1. The knife is practically brand new and I used it only for a few test cuts. This is the tall version and measures 232x56mm and weighs 196g. It has an upgraded handle made out of Hawaiian Koa with copper spacer. I bought the handle separately for $120, but I am not calculating that into the price. I am the original owner and it has never been sharpened. Be sure to check out the video, which is linked in the information box.
Here is a description copied and pasted from Carbon Knife Co.:
HADO knives are produced in Sakai in collaboration with master blacksmiths Yoshikazu Tanaka and Shogo Yamatsuka. HADO knives are sharpened by in house sharpener Maruyama-san who utilizes a wide style grind that has great symmetry and consistency. The fit and finish on all of HADO knives is superb with no detail spared.
This series is forged by Yoshikazu Tanaka from Aogami #1 steel laminated in iron suminagashi damascus. The blade face is left with kurouchi and natural texture from forging. Tanaka-san's Aogami #1 treatment is world class and is highly praised by chefs and enthusiasts worldwide.
