HADO knives

HADO – The Ambition of Craftsmanship from Sakai

HADO is a young but rapidly acclaimed Japanese knife brand with roots in Sakai, the heart of knife-making. Founded in 2019, the workshop has quickly achieved consistently high quality and risen among Japan’s top makers.

HADO knives combine modern materials with traditional craftsmanship. The blades of the Shiosai series are made from premium SG2 powder steel, offering excellent edge retention, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Each knife is carefully forged and hardened, then finished by master sharpeners into a precision cutting tool.

The result is a knife that not only cuts with incredible precision but also feels perfectly balanced and comfortable in hand. Elegant design, thoughtful details, and superb finishing make every HADO knife a unique tool that inspires its user day after day.

In just a short time, HADO has proven that a young brand can be just as impressive as workshops with decades of history. Each of their knives is simply top notch – designed, forged, and finished to perfection.
