Takamura Migaki R2 Gyuto 18 cm

We proudly present the chef's knife from Takamura.

This Takamura Gyuto is made of R2 powder steel surrounded by 2 layers of softer steel. The hard steel (63 Rockwell) allows them to sharpen the knife extra sharp and stays sharp much longer than other brands. In addition, they are less brittle than other knives at the same hardness.

• SG2 Steel (63 Hrc Rockwell).
• Protected by two bearing softer stainless steel (sanmai)
• Western handle
• Extra thin

Thin and razor sharp

The hard steel allowed them to make the knife very thin. The combination of the thin blade, the hard steel and the sublime sharpening make this one of the sharpest knives in our range. No other stainless knife comes out of the package so sharp.

Stainless Sanmai

The hard core steel is protected by two layers of soft stainless steel. This makes the knife more resistant to external damage and thus less brittle. However, these soft protective layers are more susceptible to scratching. This does not detract from the cutting properties.

Full-tang with Pakka wood handle

The handle is made of red pakka wood. The blade has a full tang, which means it extends to the end of the handle. They chose to make the full tang a little less wide so that the handle is completely seamless at the bottom. This makes it feel very comfortable while cutting.
