Gyuto 210mm B1D Aogami #1 Damascus Clad Black Oak

Forged in Sakai, Japan by master blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka, the core steel on this HADO Sumi B1D Gyuto 210mm is a custom forged SanMai laminate featuring Aogami #1 clad in a subtle and yet beautifully finished Damascus. The Aogami steel features great edge retention, sharpness and exceptional toughness.

A slightly new profile on this Gyuto from HADO with a taller blade height and slightly more bellied edge profile. Ground and sharpened by HADO knives’ Tadataka Maruyama, the spine thickness is consistent  beautifully polished up until the primary bevel, which then tapers very quickly towards the tip giving the knife a very stable feel. A wide bevel, flat ground knife, these blades are super sharp and thin behind the edge. Pressing your fingernail against the edge you will notice a little flex, demonstrating just how thin and sharp these knives are. 

The knife is a beautifully finished and will perform exceptionally well and a variety of tasks, with such a thin and fine edge these knives truly excel at fine detail work. 

Elegant in every way the Sumi B1D series features a contrast rich design with dark black Kurouchi, subtle etched Damascus and satin polished bevels and a black oak handle.

The most recent series to be developed by HADO Knives is an incredible addition to an already exceptional series of Sakai made premium kitchen knives.
