Kaede Series

High end mirror finish damascus is matched with the solid feel of full tang western handles. Kaede is one of the great maple trees of Japan and during autumn the leaves turn a ruddy brown similar to the pakkawood handles on these knives.

Comfortable handles and stainless steel bolsters provide a seamless connection to the razor-sharp SG2 stainless steel Japanese blade.

Crafted with super premium powder steel, the Hachido Kaede knives have thin, yet strong edges for long-lasting use.

The Kaede series will fast become one of your kitchen favourites. Empower your cooking with the Kaede range.

Hachido Knives

Hachido – Eight Paths in Japanese, has a root of the Ancient Buddhist concept of the Noble Eightfold path. In terms of Hachido knives it refers to The Steel, The Quench, The Sharpening, The Polish, The Fit, The Finish, The Feel and The Cut. To be called a Hachido knife the knife must excel in these 8 paths.

Knife care for stainless steel knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
