Description: Takeda was founded in 1920 and moved to Niimi in 1951. Shosui Takeda is a third generation blacksmith and is ranked among the highest in Japan. All of his blades are hand forged from Aogami Super Steel and the Classic line are cladded in iron (AS) with a unique and textured kurouchi finish. Takeda stopped producing the AS classic line as of June 2023, causing the value to consistently rise. Meticulous heat treatment of the blades helps create amazing edge retention, performance and strength. These knives are thin and lightweight but very balanced, making all of your tasks in the kitchen a complete breeze. All of Takeda's knives are double bevel with a 50/50 grind, making them user friendly to both right or left handed users. The handle is made of maple and fitted with a black pakka wood collar.
