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
Japanese SLD steel is a semi-stainless steel crafted through advanced metallurgy. It is used often in Sanjo knives, has a non-chippy edge and is extremely tough. This high-carbon steel, enriched with chromium and molybdenum, offers excellent performance, but be mindful not to leave it wet for extended periods.
Care Information
This knife is made from a high-carbon, semi-stainless steel and will be robust and resistant to rust. While it will not rust quickly like pure carbon, it is still best practice to not leave this knife wet for extended periods as it's stain-less, not stain-none! A light patina (colouration and seasoning of the steel) will still form over time.
Introducing
Tadafusa
Founded in 1948 by Sone Torasaburo, Tadafusa has long been part of the rich blacksmithing heritage of Sanjo — a city known throughout Japan as the “town of blacksmiths.” Home to other famed makers like Yoshikane, Hinoura, and Kawamura, Sanjo’s legacy of craftsmanship dates back to the 1600s, and Tadafusa has played a key role in carrying that tradition forward.
Originally crafting sickles and bladed tools using time-honoured forging techniques, Tadafusa later focused its expertise on kitchen knives. Today, they produce a wide range of meticulously finished blades for both professional chefs and home cooks alike — combining classic Sanjo craftsmanship with clean, modern utility.
Handmade in Japan and trusted around the world, Tadafusa knives are a reflection of enduring skill, precision, and the soul of Sanjo’s forging legacy.

Best knife I’ve ever owned and used
Tadafusa Hocho Kobo SLD Gyuto 210mm
As an apprentice chef, this is the first Japanese knife I’ve bought. I’ve found it to be super easy to take care of and maintain, and it holds its edge for a long time before needing to be sharpened or honed. Great price for such a great blade!
It’s so sharp, thin, right weight and most of all, it is so beautiful! ! I’ve owned quite a few kitchen knives and this is the best !
Chefs Edge shipped it very fast and arrived in a perfect condition. I have never ordered from this company before so I was a little worried, but they were great!
