Takeda Hamano was established in 1920 in Niimi, Japan. Shosui Takeda is the third generation blacksmith who now runs the company with his family and a cadre of skilled artisans. He is one of the most talented blade makers that we work with. His skill and knowledge of the Aogami Super alloy is renowned. His knives, all forged and shaped by hand and eye, are revered by countless knife aficionados.

This sujihiki (he calls it a yanagi) is his answer to the classic one sided yanagiba. Capable of shaving the finest slice from a piece of protein, cooked or raw, this thin blade performs like a scalpel. The rustic and tough kurouchi finish allows for easy food release, which is especially important when slicing raw meats and fish.

This is a fine instrument deserving of fine treatment. It must be kept clean and very dry. Keep its edge away from anything hard. Give it this love and it will love you back with each and every slice you make.

Weight: 4.6oz

Blade Length: 240mm

Please note that all measurements are approximations! Takeda-san and his helpers make each of these knives by hand, without a template. As a result, every knife is unique and the stats will vary.
