An In depth look
Blade Type
The Gyuto knife, a cornerstone of Japanese culinary tradition, is a versatile, all-purpose chef's knife. Its name, translating to "beef sword," reflects its proficiency in slicing meat and in more modern times vegetables. However, its slightly curved blade excels in chopping, dicing, and mincing, making it indispensable in any kitchen.
Steel Type
Chromax is a high-end, powdered metallurgy semi stainless steel and one of the finest knife-making steels available in Japan. Its fine, uniform grain structure enables razor-sharp edges, all the while holding an edge for much longer than Carbon steel knives, without needing to be concerned about rust appearing.
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
Takamura Hamono
Founded in 1945 and based in Echizen, Fukui, Takamura Hamono is a family-run forge now led by third-generation blacksmith Terukazu Takamura, alongside his two younger brothers. Known for their refined craftsmanship and technical innovation, Takamura Hamono has become synonymous with elegant, high-performance blades.
Early pioneers in the use of powder metallurgy steels, they were among the first to work successfully with Super Gold (SG2) — a material prized for its extraordinary hardness and long-lasting edge retention. Their knives are precisely balanced, exceptionally finished, and exhibit a clean, modern aesthetic without compromising the soul of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Each piece from Takamura Hamono reflects a rare combination of innovation and heritage — offering world-class performance with a quiet, understated beauty.
Love it
Great knife for every day use
Extremely thick edge, very light weight, the only shortage is the fragile steel that needs carefully maintainance.
Insane knives for professional chefs! My first choice
