An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Gyuto is the do-it-all, general purpose chef's knife. If you are looking for an all-rounder that can handle daily veg and protein prep and portioning, this is the one! A 210mm edge length is the most common, but try a 240mm if you prefer larger knives.

Steel Type Read

SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Founded in 1945 and based in Echizen, Fukui, Takamura Hamono is a family-run forge now led by third-generation blacksmith Terukazu Takamura, alongside his two younger brothers. Known for their refined craftsmanship and technical innovation, Takamura Hamono has become synonymous with elegant, high-performance blades.

Early pioneers in the use of powder metallurgy steels, they were among the first to work successfully with Super Gold (SG2), a material prized for its extraordinary hardness and long-lasting edge retention. Their knives are precisely balanced, exceptionally finished, and exhibit a clean, modern aesthetic without compromising the soul of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Each piece from Takamura Hamono reflects a rare combination of innovation and heritage, offering world-class performance with a quiet, understated beauty.

Takamura Migaki SG2 Gyuto 210mm

Sharpest Knife

Razor, sharp, light and comfortable. Easy to sharpen and holds its edge very well. The thin grind behind the edge ensures that it cuts through even tough vegetables like going through butter. Absolute delight to use.

Perfection

Can’t fault a thing

The Hype Is Real

I'd heard a LOT on Reddit about the price point to performance of this beauty. TBH it exceeds my expectations. Super sharp OOTB & even sharper with a 30s strop +awesome F&F. Great purchase. The fella @ CE was super awesome to deal with as well. Very happy with this bad boy!
