The Hammer Tone series from the Tadafusa forge is one of the finest Japanese blades. Their design combined with traditional, manual manufacturing techniques results in a product that leaves no one indifferent.

The shape of this knife is called Gyuto, which means "cow sword" in translation. It is considered a universal knife suitable for all kitchen tasks and its shape allows you to cut and chop with pleasure. The thin blade will give you the feeling that the food does not resist when cutting and you will feel the famous sharpness of Japanese steel.

The steel used to make this knife is SLD, a semi-reactive steel developed by the Hitachi company for the purpose of cutting other steel. However, it has found wide application in the production of kitchen knives and is highly valued for its hardness, superior sharpness and high resistance to rusting, unlike its carbon counterparts.
The special structure of the steel allows it to retain its sharpness significantly longer than other steels, the very fact that it is used for cutting steel alloys speaks volumes for its resistance.

The Tsuchime technique presents traces of hammering. Those marks are considered a blacksmith's finish and are often of a characteristic round shape, while what separates this series from other knives with similar finishes is precisely the shape of the hammering marks, which are characteristic only for this series of knives from the Tadafus forge. The very name of the Hammer Tone series comes from the freshly minted appearance of the X-shaped hammer marks.

The handle on this knife is oval in shape and is made of walnut wood combined with a black pakka collar. This design was specially selected for our shop during a visit to Japan and the forge itself.
The handle is highly polished and feels extremely comfortable in the hand.

How to choose the first knife?

If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.

Japanese knife as a gift

Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
