This knife was made by Takamura Cutlery Manufacturing, which is based on the philosophy of "good materials, good forging and heat treatment, and good sharpening."

This knife has been highly praised by professional chefs, who say that "the cut surface of the food is shiny," "it is comfortable to use," and "it has an interesting side that cannot be summed up simply as being sharp."

The steel used is "powdered high-speed steel." High-speed steel was originally developed as a blade steel for metal processing, such as the tip of a drill.

Powdered high-speed steel is made by first turning metal into powder and removing impurities, resulting in a dense metal structure that is strong and wear-resistant, making it popular as a steel material for knives.
However, due to its high hardness, it takes time to resharpen the knife.
