He primarily works on his own but gets help from his two grandson's on the weekends and his Son in law who he would like to take over the business when he retires. He is a master sharpener and takes great pride in making sure every knife that leaves his shop is razor sharp. He makes beautiful and affordable knives that we highly recommend to home users looking for something that performs well, won't break the bank and is easy to maintain.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTakefu Knife Village\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/sharpknifeshop.com\/blogs\/sharp-knife-shop-blog\/the-takefu-knife-village\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTakefu Knife Village\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecooperative workshop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e in the Echizen region of Japan.

The thin blade gives it a really amazing cutting feel and the VG-1 Gold steel has good edge retention. The Gyuto is the Japanese equivalent to the standard western style chefs knife and is easily the most versatile knife shape available. It can be used to chop fruits and vegetables, slice meat and is even great at breaking down smaller fish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFantastic Nakiri for home users especially vegetarians\/vegans. Nakiri are designed specifically for vegetable chopping due to their tall blades and flat edges which are ideal for up and down chopping. This knife has a very slight curve to the blade though so if you prefer to use a rocking motion when chopping you're perfectly capable of doing so. Nice and light, thin blade that has an amazing cutting feel; it's balance is slightly blade heavy. We like to call Nakiri the stir-fry knife as it can help you get one done in mere minutes once you've mastered the up and down chopping motion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePetty knives are great for all the little things: Chopping shallots and garlic, mincing herbs and butchering small proteins. They function perfectly as a line knife as well as they're nimble, don't take up much space but can still accomplish a wide variety of tasks. This also makes them a great option for home cooks looking for something capable they can leave out on the counter all day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-external-message\" title=\"How to Maintain a Stainless Steel Knife\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i1WsRFdAYmg\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnife Care (Stainless Steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnsure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAvoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARP Knife Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52182822289705,"sku":"MAS3PC-PNG","price":309.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/GyutoNakiriPetty.jpg?v=1764279723","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/en\/products\/masutani-three-piece-set","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
