Tamahagane – Ancient meets modern. Hand finished Japanese Knives

Made by skilled artisans in Tsubame, Niigata. The result of hundreds of years of knife making skills stretching back to the times of the Samurai.

A tough inner core of VG5 steel sandwiched between two layers of softer SUS410 stainless steel is the hallmark of the Tamahagane series. The edge is bevelled to a 15-degree angle and hand-finished using waterstones. Tamahagane knives are perfectly sharp straight out of the box.

Tamahagane San features a brown micarta handle with weighted balance. It is made with a 3-ply stainless steel construction. The middle layer is VG-5 steel which forms the edge of the blade. The two outer layers are made of SUS-410 stainless steel, which is softer and more stain resistant in order to protect the cutting edge. All knives including paring, utility and vegetable knives, Santoku, Nakiri and chef kitchen knives, filleting boning and carving knives are hand finished and checked.
