About the Maker - Tadafusa

Tadafusa Hocho Kobo is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality kitchen knives. Their production facility is located in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, an area known for its superior sake production and a traditional hub for tool and knife forging. Their knives are often crafted with a core of hard SLD steel, enveloped by softer stainless steel. This design not only ensures excellent sharpness and edge retention due to the high carbon content of the SLD steel but also protects the harder steel core from breaking or shattering, thanks to the softer stainless steel cladding.
