Blade Type
Blade Type

The Bunka is your small/medium sized prep solution. If you prefer a slightly shorter blade length but still need to prep veggies and smaller cuts of meat, this is your stop. The angled "K-Tip" allows for finer tip work and can be used to sweep ingredients across the board so you don't dull your edge.

Steel Type
Steel Type Read

Japanese White Steel #2, a traditional high-carbon steel, is cherished for its purity and fine grain structure, enabling razor-sharp edges, at the cost of being reactive. It is one of the easiest steels to sharpen, but cannot be left wet for even short periods otherwise rust spots can occur. If you’re fastidious in your knife maintenance, this knife can steel can be extremely rewarding to use.

HADO Sakai are, in our opinion, among Japan's premier knife makers. Everything about their ranges is exquisite. They source the forged blanks from Yoshikazu Tanaka, Satoshi Nakagawa among others, then grind, sharpen, and finish their knives in-house. We've had the pleasure of visiting them multiple times and are such a vibrant, young, and committed team. Their 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.
