Takamura Cutlery was founded after the end of the war with the belief in "good materials, good forging and heat treatment, and good sharpening."

Takamura Hamono knives are made without relying on machines, with craftsmen checking every step visually and carefully crafting each and every knife. They put their heart and soul into even the parts that customers cannot see, and their perfection is highly praised by professional chefs and they are widely used both in Japan and overseas. These knives are made with no compromise on quality, so much so that they captivate those who use them.
