Takeda knives are hand made by blacksmith Shosui Takeda in Okayama, Japan. Mr. Takeda is a 3rd generation master blacksmith and each knife is carefully and painstakingly forged and tempered out of Blue Aogami Super Steel. Aogami steel is a hard carbon steel, which holds an incredible edge, while still being easy to sharpen. For this new line, Takeda has added a stainless cladding to protect against oxidizing and discoloration. Each Takeda knife is completely unique and razor-sharp out of the box. As each knife is handmade, blade lengths and profiles may vary slightly.

*Due to the unique shape of each knife, wooden sheaths do not fit the Takeda knives.

Stabilized Maple
Blade length 180mm (7.1") - 200mm (7.8")
Thickness at spine 2 mm
Thickness at tip 0.8 mm

  • Handwash in warm water and towel dry
