Product description
HADO Junpaku knives are made in Sakai, Japan from the purest carbon steel grade, Shirogami #1. Also known as White Paper steel, this type of steel can be sharpened sharper than other types of steel. The purity of the steel also makes it easy to sharpen yourself. However, the steel is sensitive to acids and thus must be wiped regularly. The hard carbon core is protected by two layers of stainless steel folded over the shirogami steel. This combination of shiro #1 with stainless steel is quite rare. For this reason alone, Junpaku knives are highly recommended.
Razor-sharp finish
Equally impressive is the finish of the Junpaku knives. You can see that Hado specialized as a sharpener because every part of this knife is beautifully finished. Even the back of the knife is rounded during sharpening and, of course, the cut is polished to a high level. This makes for an exceptional cutting experience where the knife slices effortlessly through vegetables, fruits and meats.
The oak handle has a traditional octagonal shape that provides a good grip, even with wet hands. Thanks to the special Urushi lacquer coating, the knife looks super-luxurious
