Knife Information
Tadafusa manufacture their knives in the city of Sanjo, well known across Japan as the ‘town of blacksmiths’. The likes of Yoshikane, Hinoura, and Kawamura all hail from the same city. Tadafusa was founded in 1948 by Sone Torasaburo, who began making sickles, knives, and other bladed tools using traditional forging methods, but then began to specialise in kitchen knives, which has culminated in the immaculate pieces you see here.
Best paired with a camellia oil, wooden saya and a 1000/6000 whetstone
This knife is great for:
✅ Those wanting a fairly easy knife to maintain, but don't mind carbon steel maintenance
✅ Those who like slightly thicker and heavier knives with comfy western style handles
✅ Pinch grip cutters
✅ General purpose cutting (veg, smaller and larger meats etc)
