Please be advised that there is no brand engraving on the blade.

Our Comment

Simple appearance and easy to care for. It cuts superbly well. It handles dense ingredients like carrots pretty well without wedging much or getting stuck mid-way through, thanks to its finely balanced grind between thinness and convexity. Great performance for the bucks! It would be your best friend for a long time.

This model's batch is produced for re-branding purposes, so there is no Takamura signature (高村作) on the front face of the blade. Apart from that, it is exactly the same as the ones with their signature.
