TAKAMURA HSPS GYUTO 210MM (8.2")

TAKAMURA HAMONO is a family-run workshop in the Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture, where knives have been made by hand for centuries. While rooted in this tradition, Takamura is also a pioneer of modern stainless knife-making. This knife has a core of High Speed Powdered Steel (HSPS, also known as R2/SG2), clad in soft stainless steel, so it holds a remarkably sharp edge and resists rust. Known for its very thin "laser" grind, it glides cleanly through ingredients. The GYUTO is a versatile chef's knife for everyday cooking, Western and Japanese alike.
