A classic mid-sized laser of a gyuto from Terukazu Takamura. An absolute delight to cut with and an eye catching red pakka wood Western handle combine to make a light and nimble knife that's going to make light work of a lot of food prep!
Note: The Takamura "Unbranded" is exactly the same knife as the "Official" but has been sourced from a different supplier and only difference is that it does not have the Takamura kanji engraved one side. Other than this, it is the same knife and is sold in the same official Takamura box/pacakging.

We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
