Hado means the road of ‘ha’ (刃, blades) and is the brand name for the knives crafted by Fukui Co & Ltd. They work with some of the finest blacksmiths in the Sakai area and then bring them in house where they're sharpened and finished by their own master sharpener Maruyama-san.

Note that carbon steels are susceptible to corrosion. It is recommended to wipe the knife well immediately after each use.
