Forged in Sakai, Japan by master blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka, the core steel on this HADO Sumi B1D Petty 150mm 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.
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 as well as 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.

Product Care:
Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.
Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.
Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.

Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
