By using the incredible Aogami #1 (Blue #1) steel and cladding it in intricately layered damascus steel (hence B1D), they’ve crafted an Excalibur-esque kitchen blade that wows me every time I use it. The confident weight and extreme sharpness of Hado knives means I barely have to push when slicing and the blade just drops through vegetables. It’s functional art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile the blacksmith handles the forging and hardening to ensure the knife keeps a crazy sharp edge for a long time, the sharpener uses their mastery of steel grinding and polishing to turn a raw piece of forged steel into a precision tool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNomura-san of HADO is one such master sharpener.

Starting at 180mm, Gyutos can reach the ridiculously long (and awesome) 370mm. For the at-home or professional cook, we recommend a Gyuto which measures between 210mm and 270mm long.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hado Sakai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46103761289390,"sku":"FK-1000253","price":970.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/Hado-Sakai-Sumi-B1D-gyuto-240mm-cherry-handle.jpg?v=1746478024","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-us\/products\/hado-sakai-sumi-b1d-gyuto-240mm-cherry-bark-handle","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
