An In depth look

Blade Type

The Sujihiki knife, a traditional Japanese slicer, is designed for carving and fileting. With its long, narrow blade, typically ranging from 240mm to 330mm, it excels in creating clean, smooth cuts through meat and fish. Its length ensures long, uninterrupted strokes, making it perfect for precise slicing tasks.

Steel Type

Japanese Blue Steel #2, or "Aogami" #2, is a revered high-carbon steel alloyed with low amounts of chromium and tungsten. It strikes an excellent balance between durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Slightly more ductile than Blue #1, it's widely used in crafting traditional Japanese knives, beloved by chefs for its resilience and sharpness, albeit is slightly softer than Blue 1.

Care Information

This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.

Introducing

Tadafusa

Founded in 1948 by Sone Torasaburo, Tadafusa has long been part of the rich blacksmithing heritage of Sanjo — a city known throughout Japan as the “town of blacksmiths.” Home to other famed makers like Yoshikane, Hinoura, and Kawamura, Sanjo’s legacy of craftsmanship dates back to the 1600s, and Tadafusa has played a key role in carrying that tradition forward.

Originally crafting sickles and bladed tools using time-honoured forging techniques, Tadafusa later focused its expertise on kitchen knives. Today, they produce a wide range of meticulously finished blades for both professional chefs and home cooks alike — combining classic Sanjo craftsmanship with clean, modern utility.

Handmade in Japan and trusted around the world, Tadafusa knives are a reflection of enduring skill, precision, and the soul of Sanjo’s forging legacy.

This thing IS THE BUSINESS!

Words can't explain how amazing this knife is to use and gaze at! It's my second bunka and my go to knife for everyday prep. Gyuto's aren't getting a look in at the moment. I LOVE it. Thanks Chefs Edge 👊🏽

Super Thin Bevels

The bevels being so thin makes it easy to achieve a crazy sharp edge and cut dense vegetables rather than splitting them. The kiritsuke tip also makes precise cuts such as on garlic possible. A pleasure to use

Great product, great service

Very happy with my purchase. First time customer, ordered and received a knife that had a chip which occurred during shipment. The staff at Chefs Edge were very prompt in communication and really helpful in resolving the matter. They sent out a new knife and arrived in time for a birthday. The knife itself is great quality and looks better than the photos. Overall, very happy and will be a return customer!

Matsubara Hamono Blue 2 Tsuchime Bunka 180mm

Fantastic knife with beautifully curated handle

Got this as a gift for one of my younger cooks who has been going above and beyond this year. Not only is the caretaking aspect of high carbon steels such as shirogami a great teacher for any future knives they may own, but its such a beautiful tsuchime finish with a fantastic grind that I found myself drooling over it aswell. 10/10 recommend not only Tsunehisa as a maker but Chefs Edge as a curator and purveyor of immaculate kitchen knives.
