Takamura Chromax Santoku 170mm
Description:
Reputed blacksmiths, such as Terukazu Takamura, are the forces behind the renowned Takamura Hamono, based in Echizen. They are celebrated for crafting flawless knives that don't compromise on any detail. Each knife from Takamura, irrespective of its price point, stands out in terms of attractiveness and performance. Renowned Michelin-star chefs like René Redzepi of Noma and Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana are known patrons of Takamura knives.
The Chromax line from Takamura, despite its recent introduction, has quickly gained popularity in the knife world. The reason behind the hype is its outstanding characteristics, with the steel treated to HRC 64-65, ensuring excellent edge retention. It surpasses its counterpart, the SG2 steel, in terms of edge retention and is less reactive than a carbon steel knife. The Chromax line offers knives with laser-thin grinds, stainless cladding reminiscent of an Aogami Super kitchen knife, and a hand-hammered finish.
Then comes the santoku style, a classic that needs no reinvention. The Santoku, translating to the "knife of three virtues" [slice, dice, chop], is a versatile tool suitable for almost anyone. This style is particularly favored by those who prefer rock chopping or have limited kitchen space.
