I feel like this is the first time I’m seeing wrought from Japanese makers, are they discovering the western world loves it and finally getting in on it? Or do I just have absolutely no observational skills?
They exist, just more rare. I owned this one

Price is good, but the choil.... Reminds me of the Tsukasa tamahagane stuff
That choil shot looks clunky/chunky. I know choil shots don’t tell the story, but they do depict at least a few chapters. Lee is putting out great stuff, so I would think giving him the benefit of the doubt they will be phenomenal. That Mert on the other hand thst @blokey posted, I know that’s a phenomenal cutter.

How are HADO stuff by the way
HADO makes really amazing work (I have the Damascus blue in 210 and 240). BE AWARE that it’s really thin behind the edge (nail flexing)

I’m not in a professional setting, so I love having them but when I use the 210, I can immediately feel that this is a very light, delicate blade.

I really wouldn’t suggest it for a professional restaurant setting but if you are in a different setting and want a lovely experience, they’re awesome

The junpaku line is apparently a very similar grind to Tanaka x Kyuzo if you’re familiar with it. I have a Junpaku on the way so I can’t tell you for certain.

Another person to ask are @itzjustchris1

My Hado Junpaku is one of my favorites. Takes and keeps a great edge, doesn’t feel delicate. I prefer 240s and iron clad and it is 210 stainless but I still love using it.

Wasn't able to get blue2 Hado gyuto from chefsedge June release. This is another store who sold out before “release time”. I stayed up til 1 am on a school day. (They put a "new release" timer on instagram) Annoyed. @chefsedgeau.

Not quite kitchen knives, but very nice nonetheless;


the owner of the store, a very-pleasant-to-buy-from Monsieur Salle is also the author of the book, "Of Knives And Men", showcasing some of the top-drawer knife makers of the day. Another deep and dark rabbit hole to fall down.
