Description
Santoku, 180 mm, from HADO in Sakai, 'Laser Grind', 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 santoku is an all-round knife for meat, fish and vegetables. The blade is Ginsan (Silver #3), a stainless steel, with a polished migaki finish. The handle is Japanese (wa) in magnolia with buffalo horn, and the edge is sharpened 50/50.
Ginsan is easy to look after: wash by hand and wipe dry. 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: Ginsan (Silver #3)
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.
