Collection: Takeda Knives

Discover the raw, uncompromising craft of Takeda Hamono, forged in the mountains of Niimi, Okayama by third-generation blacksmith Shosui Takeda. Every blade is hand-forged from Aogami Super steel — a high-carbon alloy prized for its extreme hardness and long-lasting edge — and clad in soft iron with Takeda's signature hand-hammered kurouchi finish. Whether you're reaching for the iconic Sasanoha or a wide-bevel Gyuto, Takeda knives are built thin behind the edge for effortless cutting and a level of performance that rewards serious cooks who sharpen their own steel.
