Great knife for sure! I’m unemployed right now so I’m inpatiently waiting to use it in a real kitchen on a wood board for sure!

very well balanced, sharp and last long edge retention, enough to make your chef jealous. Thanks Takamura and MTC!

I bought this knife after purchasing a 150mm red-handled Takamura paring knife, which had pretty much changed how a knife could feel for me. The Pro version takes it to a different level still in terms of fit/finish/balance. So if you can afford the stretch, go Pro. If that's too far a reach, the red-handled Takamura will still put a smile on your face.

The rumor proved to be true! Amazingly smooth edge.

This is my go to knife. Really almost the only knife I need in my kitchen. The edge retention is amazing, there is practically no resistance. After I fell in love I got my brother-in-law a Takamura Damascus Sujihiki as a present, and now I may have to get one more knife since it is so light and balanced.

I've never ever addicted to particular knife before. Some said it feels like cutting air. I totally agree. I've been using more than a month. PROs on this knife are not only extremely sharp edge,but also edge retention. Actually, I want to emphasize its long lasting edge retention more than initial sharpness. I'll definitely come back to MTC when I need slicer or any! I strongly recommend this knife to anyone who´s looking for truly Japanese cutlery.

I love my Takamura gyuto. I've compared this knife side by side with my carbon steel gyuto, German chefs knife and inox gyuto (cutting into a daikon and also peeling the skin). The Takamura is definitely the superior knife. I had Takamura-san teach me how to sharpen this knife so I'm happy with its performance even a year after I've been using it. It's hard not to recommend this knife to everyone!
