Takamura Tsuchime Santoku 17 cm Chromax

The Takamura Santoku kitchen knife, with a blade length of 170 mm, is a very handy tool with versatile applications. It is the Japanese equivalent of a standard chef's knife.

The Takamura Chromax collection of Japanese knives includes perfectly crafted, high-quality products. They are an example of how exceptional 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 soft steel that serves a protective function. Chromax is a new steel used in the production of kitchen knives, which is fairly easy to sharpen, and at the same time, retains its sharpness for a long time. 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 heat treatment, the hardness of the blade reaches 60-62 HRC. The knives in this collection are extremely sharp, which is evident from the very first use. This is due to the fact that they are sharpened by hand and that their blades are exceptionally thin. Takamura Chromax also stands out with its perfectly matched handle, which is made of light Pakka wood. All kitchen knives in this series are packaged in decorative gift boxes.
