Tadafusa

Tadafusa has been making knives in Sanjo, Niigata since 1948. Sanjo is the heart of Japanese knife making — the same city where Shigefusa, Toyama and Munetoshi work. The blacksmithing tradition there goes back to 1661.

Unlike most knife makers, Tadafusa does everything in house — forging, grinding, heat treatment and finishing. Real craftsmanship at every step.

Tadafusa makes knives for both professionals and home cooks. Clean, consistent fit and finish — a proper production knife maker with real craftsmanship behind it.
