VG-10 is known for maintaining a sharp cutting edge through regular use and can be readily maintained with standard whetstones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout Hado\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHado, as the first in-house brand of Fukui Co. \u0026amp; Ltd. in 109 years, symbolizes the company's commitment to excellence in crafting blades. The name \"Hado\" reflects this dedication, as \"do\" (道) represents the path or way, a concept deeply rooted in Japanese culture, similar to \"Sado\" (tea ceremony), \"Kado\" (flower arrangement), and \"Kyudo\" (archery). By naming the brand \"Hado\" (the road of blades), Fukui emphasizes its intention to continue its journey of refinement and innovation in blade-making, aiming to achieve the highest quality over the next century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eBunka Knife\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bunka knife is a general-purpose knife similar to the Santoku. Its profile allows for much the same usage as a Santoku (meats, vegetables and fish) while having a finer, more pointed tip that aids in precision cutting such as mukimono, or fine cuts such as brunoise and julienne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67707838660698,"sku":"45472","price":310.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9667\/8234\/files\/45472_Hado_Shiosai_VG-10_Bunka_180mm_Olive_Wood_Handle.jpg?v=1792005672","url":"https:\/\/mtckitchen.com\/products\/hado-shiosai-vg-10-bunka-180mm-olive-wood-handle","provider":"MTC Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
