Hado Ouru SLD Nashiji K-tip Gyuto 200mm

Discover the exceptional Hado Ouru SLD Nashiji K-tip Gyuto 200mm, a premium Japanese kitchen knife that masterfully blends traditional craftsmanship with modern performance. This knife features a robust SLD steel core, a semi-stainless tool steel from Hitachi known for its excellent edge retention and ease of maintenance, offering a cutting feel reminiscent of carbon steel with far less care required. The blade is hand-forged and finished with a rustic Nashiji (pear skin) texture, showcasing its authentic character. Its K-tip (Kiritsuke-style tip) Gyuto profile provides a versatile, flat belly ideal for precise push-cutting and chopping, making it a true all-rounder in the kitchen.

Crafted with a workhorse grind and a convex geometry from Tadafusa, this Japanese kitchen knife excels in food release, allowing ingredients like potato slices to glide off the blade effortlessly. Despite its reassuring heft and a spine that tapers from 4.0mm at the heel, it maintains a thin edge for smooth, low-resistance cutting. The handle is a minimalist masterpiece—a single piece of highly polished, octagonal ebony that offers a comfortable, secure grip and timeless elegance.

Perfect for professional chefs and enthusiasts seeking a heavy-duty, tip-heavy Japanese kitchen knife with outstanding cutting characteristics. Experience its performance firsthand with a test cut in store.
