Exceptional Sharpness—Even Tomatoes Slice Cleanly
This knife cuts cleanly through tomatoes with ease. The rounded handle is designed to fit comfortably in women's hands, making it particularly easy to use.
Hidden Heritage Craftsmanship
The handle is crafted from chestnut wood, chosen for its hardness and resistance to decay. Furthermore, Tadafusa's patented antibacterial carbonized wood technology transforms this chestnut into a handle material that retains the natural texture of wood whilst creating an environment where bacteria cannot proliferate and ultimately perish—achieving a carbonization level just short of becoming charcoal.
The blade utilizes a special alloy containing chromium, carbon, molybdenum, and vanadium in quantities comparable to stainless steel, resulting in a hard yet resilient material. This composition maintains exceptional sharpness over time. The blade features Tadafusa's original stamp.
The Essential Three
Kitchen knives can be overwhelming—with countless varieties and specialized options making it difficult to know where to begin. However, there exists a "fundamental trio" that provides everything you need: a bread knife, a 170mm multi-purpose knife, and a 125mm multi-purpose knife (petty knife). Designed by product designer Fumie Shibata, these knives feature meticulously considered forms that remain understated enough for daily use—an appealing quality for everyday essentials. The logo mark incorporates fire tongs used by craftspeople, designed by graphic designer Masaaki Hiromura.
