Hado Knife

HADO is a Japanese kitchen-knife brand based in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture. Their founding philosophy revolves around 石 “the road of blades”, combining the heritage of Sakai craftsmanship with the meticulous finish of modern forging.

HADO works with master blacksmiths to produce a wide range of knives—from single-bevel Japanese styles to high-performance double-bevel chef’s knives—using premium steels such as SG2, Ginsan and Shirogami.

Every blade undergoes careful hand-sharpening and finishing, with particular attention paid to edge geometry, balance and polished details. HADO’s dedication to quality and artistry reflects Sakai’s long legacy of professional knife making, anchored now in a distinctive contemporary collection.
