Terukazu Takamura, a renowned name in blacksmithing, crafts exceptional knives at Takamura Hamono in Echizen. Each Takamura knife, regardless of price, stands out for its beauty and performance. Their quality is acknowledged by top chefs like René Redzepi of Noma and Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana.
Clarifying a common confusion, Takamura R2 and SG2 steel are the same, both being high-speed powdered steel (HSPS) used in kitchen knives for over 60 years. Takamura Hamono's expertise in heat treating SG2 steel results in some of the finest stainless steel kitchen knives available.
With a Rockwell hardness of around 63 and a sleek brushed migaki finish, Takamura SG2 knives offer incredible value and performance. The renowned laser grind of Takamura knives ensures smooth cutting through various foods. The 210mm gyuto is highly popular among both home cooks and professional chefs for its versatility and ideal length, fitting perfectly in any kitchen scenario.
