Takamura Tsuchime Santoku 170mm Chromax

The Takamura Santoku kitchen knife with a blade length of 170 mm is a very handy and versatile tool. It is the Japanese equivalent of a standard chef’s knife. In the Takamura Chromax collection of Japanese knives, you can find perfectly made products of very high quality. They are an example of how a unique practicality can be successfully combined with attention to every detail of workmanship. The knives have a core forged from Chromax stainless steel, which is surrounded by a soft steel that acts as a protection. Chromax is a new steel used in the production of kitchen knives, which is quite easy to sharpen and at the same time maintains its sharpness for a longer period. The well-known manufacturer Takamura decided to produce a line of kitchen knives with high cutting performance, and it should certainly be considered highly successful. The blades in this series are subjected to a finishing technique called “Tsuchime,” which gives them a unique hammered look. During hardening, the blade hardness reaches 64-65 HRC. The knives from this collection are extremely sharp, which is evident from the first use. This is thanks to manual sharpening, as well as the fact that their blades are exceptionally thin. Takamura Chromax is also distinguished by a perfectly matched handle, which is made of light pakkawood. All kitchen knives from this series are packed in decorative gift boxes.
