Takeda Hamono Japanese Knife Set

Description from Quitokeeto

A selection of three hand-forged Japanese culinary knives from Takeda Hamono, third generation master blacksmiths. This is a collection of knives to cover a wide range of everyday culinary tasks ranging from chopping and slicing small and large ingredients, to paring, peeling, and mincing. The three knives come either with the custom Jacob May magnetic knife strip, or without, and include: an 10-inch gyuto chef’s knife (general-purpose), a nakiri knife (celebrated for vegetables), and a mini petit knife (Takeda’s take on a paring knife).

Takeda Hamono is a third generation factory of blacksmiths, with roots going back to the 1920s. We love Takeda Hamono knives, and took it as a good sign that the maker’s mark includes a friendly heart stamped along the blade. Each Takeda arrives from the factory “wow” sharp, and with the occasional visit to your sharpening stone these knives are pure pleasure to use.

Each Takeda Hamono ships in a gift-worthy box, with the blade wrapped in Japanese paper.

Made in Niimi, Okayama Prefecture, Japan.
