Hado is a Sakai-based knife brand that pairs blades from local master blacksmiths with its own in-house sharpening. Choose from Sumi and Shiro in Shirogami #2, Junpaku in Shirogami #1 and Aogami #1, or the stainless Ginsan in Silver #3. The carbon-steel series should be wiped dry after use; Ginsan is the low-maintenance choice.
