Three brothers work together to create Echizen Uchihamono - true hammer forged knives of the Echizen region. Takamura knives are made in their workshop in Fukui prefecture, from forging to the final sharpening and polishing of the blade.

Takamura Testimonials
I like that they stay razor sharp, are light, and aesthetically they look awesome. Their thin blades also help do precision cuts when working with meat and fish.

Any other knife does not compare. The precision and cleanliness of the cuts are the finest I have cut in my career. The balance of the knife is perfect. (Takamura Suminagashi 210mm gyuto)

Light yet perfectly balanced, this beautiful blade glided through everything with ease from meat to vegetables. The octagon handle is comfortable to grip and doesn't slip.
