Chef's Knife
Chef's knife with a 214 mm blade and a custom octagonal maple handle.
Taguchi is a young bladesmith from Takefu Knife Village who recently began working under his own name after several years with Yoshimi Kato. This is one of the very first knives to leave his own forge, and we are proud to present his knives outside Japan.
The knife has a 210 mm blade with a VG-10 core, a steel that combines excellent sharpness, good wear resistance and easy maintenance. The geometry is thin behind the edge, with impressive tapering from the heel all the way to the tip. This gives it a light, responsive feel in the hand while delivering exceptional precision.
The blade has an elegant Damascus finish with a hand-hammered Tsuchime surface that adds life and character without distracting from the knife's clean lines.
