An In depth look

Blade Type

The Nakiri knife, revered in Japanese culinary traditions, is engineered for exceptional vegetable cutting. Featuring a distinct, straight-edged, and rectangular blade, it excels in creating uniform, precise cuts and aesthetic presentation. Its technical design ensures efficiency and precision, making it a valuable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks.

Steel Type

Japanese Blue Steel #1, known as "Aogami" #1, is a premium high-carbon steel enriched with tungsten and chromium. It has seen a recent surge in popularity and is now used by many top-tier knife makers for its superior edge retention and durability. It also offers a unique balance of toughness and sharpness. This steel is highly valued in crafting traditional Japanese knives, especially for professional use.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon steel and as such, will require a little more care than a regular off-the-shelf knife. It must be dried shortly after use, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust spots to appear. A very light coat of oil during storage also helps to prevent rust spots. A patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will occur with use. 

Introducing

HADO

HADO Sakai are, in our opinion, among Japan's premier knife makers. Everything about their ranges is exquisite. The packaging has been custom designed in collaboration with French artist Phillipe Weisbecker, of which this packaging houses one of the finest blades we have ever seen. The Blue 1 Damascus is a special collaboration between Chefs Edge and HADO.

Fantastic cutter

Put her through the paces today with some pretty heavy cutting including acorn squash, a large beat, a large purple onion, carrots and a few other vegetables. The HADO did extremely well especially with such a thin edge. Also super fast delivery and a fantastic staff!!

An utterly amazing knife!

I own 5 or so higher end Japanese knives (not counting Shuns), and this is the nicest I've ever used. Incredibly sharp and easy to use, fits the hand well. My only criticism is that foods tend to stick to the knife a bit more than average. Highly, highly recommended.
