Takamura is known for producing beautifully made knives, using some of the most advanced steels available on the market. Their fit and finish is amongst the best I have personally seen on Japanese knives, at any price. This Takamura Tsuchime VG10 150mm Petty is laser thin, extremely light, perfectly balanced, and razor sharp right out of the box.
Takamura does an excellent job with the forging and heat treat of the VG10, which is a superb steel if properly worked. It is also very stain resistant, and wrapped in a softer stainless steel cladding for toughness. It just flies through foods with no effort! The 60 +/-1 blade hardness also makes the knife easy to hone on smooth or fine steels, which is handy for busy kitchens. The classic Takamura grind, along with the Tsuchime hammered finish, allows these knives to cut effortlessly.
