The Takayuki knife company has been in existence in one form or another for 600 years. That experience has morphed into a new company intent on combining new technologies and methods with this ancient art.
The Takayuki Grand Chef Honesuki is made with top quality Bohler N690 stainless steel. Because it is a mono steel blade there is no cladding of other steels which means that you have a knife with superior stainless properties which translates to an ease of maintenance that many chefs appreciate.
The blade design is an asymmetric so it is best suited for a right-handed user. This knife will dispatch poultry and other smaller boned items with ease and efficiency.
We really like these knives and believe they represent a great alternative to those wanting a true Japanese style knife that is easy to use and maintain.
