Takamura Chromax 210mm Gyuto

Takamura Hamono from Echizen, Japan is a relatively small family-owned forge that has been making knives since 1985. Now there is the 3rd generation blacksmith, Terukazu Takamura, who stands at the head of the forge, who has taken over from his father. The Takamura knives are known for their very refined, thin blades which hold the egg extremely well and cut fantastically. Definitely some of the best cutting knives you can find for the price.

The Chromax series is made with a semi-stainless steel core and a stainless cladding. Chromax is a relatively new type of steel that Takamura uses, and it is absolutely fantastic. Although the steel is very hard, it is almost as easy to grind as blue steel, while still holding your egg in much the same way as SG2.

This knife is a gyuto , which is also popularly just called a chef's knife. This is 210 mm, and it is used for most tasks in the kitchen and is particularly good for slicing and chopping tasks in both meat and vegetables. The cutting experience of this knife is poor in words, so it is a knife that must be tested to that extent. If you have the opportunity to drop by our store in Torvehallerne in Copenhagen, we will therefore be ready with carrots and a cutting board, so you will be able to experience for yourself why this knife is so much better than most others out there.
