Takamura

Knife manufacturers today outsource a lot of their work but Takamura handles every step of their knife-making process, which explains the exceptional quality of their craftsmanship. The blacksmiths of Takamura Cutlery dedicate their whole body and soul to perfecting the most minor details that the customers may not even notice at first glance. As a result, they have given birth to knives that have been rated highly by top chefs all over the world. They are especially regarded for being one of the first cutlery manufacturers to use High-Speed Powdered Steel (HSPS), a blade material that is currently gaining popularity for its superior quality and performance (also known as R2, which is a term that the steel manufacturer coined while Takamura was testing out different materials).
