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 carbon steel stainless clad knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• The knife is clad in stainless steel to protect against rust however the exposed carbon steel core (at the cutting edge) is susceptible to rust.
• Do not leave wet overnight or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
• A grey/black patina will form on the edge. This is totally normal for carbon steel and aids in protecting against rust.
• 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.
• We highly recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner for maintenance.
