Blade Type

The bread knife is commonly used for, you guessed it cutting bread. Almost exclusivley cerated they are great for all kind of bread and pasteries soft and hard.

Steel Type

Japanese SLD steel is a semi-stainless steel crafted through advanced metallurgy. It is used often in Sanjo knives, has a non-chippy edge and is extremely tough. This high-carbon steel, enriched with chromium and molybdenum, offers excellent performance, but be mindful not to leave it wet for extended periods.

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

Tadafusa

Founded in 1948 by Sone Torasaburo, Tadafusa has long been part of the rich blacksmithing heritage of Sanjo — a city known throughout Japan as the “town of blacksmiths.” Home to other famed makers like Yoshikane, Hinoura, and Kawamura, Sanjo’s legacy of craftsmanship dates back to the 1600s, and Tadafusa has played a key role in carrying that tradition forward.

Originally crafting sickles and bladed tools using time-honoured forging techniques, Tadafusa later focused its expertise on kitchen knives. Today, they produce a wide range of meticulously finished blades for both professional chefs and home cooks alike — combining classic Sanjo craftsmanship with clean, modern utility.

Handmade in Japan and trusted around the world, Tadafusa knives are a reflection of enduring skill, precision, and the soul of Sanjo’s forging legacy.
