Description
Small santoku (shou-santoku), 110 mm, from HADO in Sakai, sold as HADO Factory Seconds. The knife is new from the forge, with a cosmetic flaw. Ask us about the flaw on this particular knife.
The core is Shirogami 2 (White #2), a carbon steel, with iron cladding and kurouchi, the dark forge scale. The handle is Japanese (wa) in oak, and the edge is sharpened 50/50. The size suits vegetables and smaller jobs on the board.
The iron cladding can rust. Dry the knife straight after use. We sharpen it in the workshop when it needs it.

About the knife type: Santoku (chef's knife)
Santoku is a Japanese all-purpose knife. The name means 'three uses': meat, fish and vegetables.
The blade is slightly wider than on a gyuto or a Western chef's knife, so there is room for large vegetables. The tip gives the edge a larger contact surface, and the knife cuts well with a push cut.
About the steel: White #2 (Shirogami #2)
Care and maintenance
Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.
Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
