- Use & Care
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.

Réception de mon Takeda Gyuto 21 cm, et je ne peux qu'être élogieux. La livraison a été irréprochable : rapide, parfaitement emballée, le couteau est arrivé dans un état impeccable. Mais c'est évidemment la lame qui marque. On sent immédiatement le travail d'un forgeron qui maîtrise son art : un tranchant d'une précision remarquable, une légèreté et un équilibre qui rendent chaque découpe naturelle, et une esthétique brute, authentique, qui ne ressemble à aucune lame industrielle. C'est une véritable pièce d'exception, qui prend déjà une place à part dans ma cuisine. Bravo et merci pour ce travail.
This knife is simply amazing. Incredibly light and thin, yet keeps and holds the most insane edge out of all my knives due to Takeda's excellent heat treatment. There is a hint of flex to the blade, so it isn't a workhorse, but with some technique it simply flies through ingredients, and the zero grind ensures that the cut pieces hardly ever stick or slow you down with friction.
Its a Takeda. Not much to say. It’s brilliant. Looks amazing, its light in the hand and sharp as a razor. I love it.
Everything you heard about Takeda knives and more. Sharp out of the box. Light, nimble and perfectly balanced. Excellent kitchen knife.
U cant describe this knife. U have to use it to believe it. Such a amazing knife it is.
