Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type

SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.

Care Information

This knife is made with a stainless steel and is easy going and low on maintenance. It has high chromium content, meaning it is generally considered safe to leave wet on the board for short periods of time. is still best practice to not leave this knife to air dry as it's stain-less not stain-none! Wipe down after washing the knife and store away from any sources of moisture.  

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.
