There are famous blacksmiths, and then there's Terukazu Takamura. Forging out of Echizen, Takamura Hamono is known for creating masterpieces in every sense of the word and without skimping on any detail. Any Takamura knife, at any price point, is attractive and a great performer. Just ask René Redzepi, 3-star Michelin chef of the world famous Noma. I mean you can ask Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana if you can't find René, he uses them too.

It only makes sense that because VG10 was invented in Echizen, that Takamura should offer this steel in one of his lines. Allow us to mention just a few reasons why this is a great line of knives for the money: affordable, laser thin grind, excellent fit and finish, stainless steel, migaki (think brushed steel) finish, did we mention excellent grind on some of the thinnest knives you'll ever encounter for the money?

Some knife style definitions aren't worth reinventing, and this is the case with the santoku. Santoku translates to knife of three virtues [slice, dice, chop]. Though a santoku is suitable for just about anyone as a very multi-purpose knife, those that like to rock chop or have limited space in the kitchen will particularly enjoy this knife style.

Think a 165mm is too common for a santoku and don't want to be like the rest of your friends? No problem, get this 170mm and be different!

Great knife, great service

Purchased my first knife from Tokushu Knife on Black Friday. Tonight my wife used it for the first time and told me it’s the best knife she’s ever had. Also sent Tony an email request right after placing my order and he took care of it right away. Will purchase again!

Great Knife!

This knife came razor sharp right out of the box. Very light and easy to use. The western handle is familiar, very happy with this purchase. Got it on a Black Friday deal, but would have gladly paid full price.

It’s a Takamura from Tokushu, what did you expect?

Great knife. Great price. Free and great shipping. And a holiday gift.

Takamura feels even better than the Chromax one and cuts great. There’s no reason to put off getting one if you’re in the market.
