What is Takamura Blade?

Opened in 1910, this knife manufacturing factory is located in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture. They were the first to manufacture knives made from new materials such as powdered high-speed steel and powdered stainless high-speed steel, and began developing stainless steel knives over 50 years ago, which were still rare at the time. They have released many stainless steel knives that are hard and last a long time. The reputation of their sharpness spread quickly, and they are now used by top chefs around the world.
