NKD

Hello everyone!

Finally pulled the trigger on a true sakai style knife.

Hado Junpaku 240mm W1 Gyuto.

This knife is beautiful. The simplicity and the crisp lines look so nice.

Half urushi oak handle expertly finished just like the blade itself. There's really no imperfections on this knife. Hado doesn't joke around.

Performs very nicely. Slicing feel matches my Yoshi, and some may have noticed how high I praise Yoshikane. It does feel more fragile and with a tad worse food release. release.

Looking forward to sharpening it and see what I can achieve with the work of the acclaimed Yoshikazu Tanaka and his White #1 steel.

Hopefully my first and last NKD of this year but probably not 😂. I'll leave room for some nice gems in case they pop up.

Have a nice weekend!
