Like New! Used trade in only sharpened once by us on a natural stone. Original box included. Please Note this item is FINAL SALE.

Takeda was founded in 1920 and moved to Niimi in 1951. Shosui Takeda is a third generation blacksmith and is ranked among the highest in Japan. We are very proud to carry Takeda as we have used his knives in professional kitchens for years and fell in love with them very quickly. We know once you try one, you will feel the same way.

All of his blades are hand forged from Aogami Super Steel and are cladded in stainless (NAS) making these knives very low maintenance. Meticulous heat treatment of the blades helps create amazing edge retention, performance and strength. These knives are thin and lightweight but very balanced, making all of your tasks in the kitchen a complete breeze. All of Takeda's knives are double bevel with a 50/50 grind, making them user friendly to both right or left handed users. The handle is made of maple and fitted with a black pakka wood collar.
