The blade is forged in the UK by the esteemed British blacksmith Joel Black, renowned for his craftsmanship and attention to detail. After forging, the blade journeys to Japan, where Hado Knives’ master sharpener Tadataka Maruyama applies his signature touch—an ultra-fine, flat grind paired with a chamfered heel and elegantly rounded spine.

The blade’s classic pointed Gyuto profile, combined with a subtly radiused edge and tapered spine, ensures effortless cutting performance and a nimble, balanced feel in hand.
