Heritage

The Takahisa (隆久) marque - translating to "prosperous and long-lasting" - embodies the strict manufacturing standards of traditional Japanese professional cutlery. The 270mm Gyuto format was designed for the demands of commercial kitchen environments: the extended blade acts as a lever, requiring minimal physical force from the cook, while the gentle belly curve accommodates smooth rock-chopping and the ultra-agile tip excels at fine slicing and detail work. The high-carbon hagane steel core, responsive to whetstone maintenance, delivers an edge quality that justifies its place in any serious kitchen.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use to prevent oxidation
• Hone regularly on a whetstone
• Sharpen on Japanese water stones (1000/3000 grit)
• Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer
