Tadafusa Knives

Our genuine hand forged Japanese chefs knives are available in either traditional Japanese Bocho Kobo style (layered carbon steel) and Hocho Kobo (a European style constructed from stainless steel). All made by Tadafusa, a family owned company in Sanjo, Japan.

You may be a traditionalist and prefer the Bocho Kobo, with it's "nashi" blade finish to stop food sticking as you slice it. This beauty needs to be put away dry and loves a little oil on its blade.  Alternatively, the european style with the same "in hand" balance but with a more carefree stainless steel blade (perfect for introducing the kids to quality kitchen knives and/or use in a shared flatting situation where some may not quite appreciate the quality they have in hand).

All have natural magnolia or bubinga wooden handles for moisture resistance and their natural antibacterial properties. 

Keep them stored in a wooden knife block, for love, longevity & easy access.
