・About this item
This is a Nakiri knife made by Takeuchi, located in Mino City, which neighbors Seki City, Gifu Prefecture—one of Japan's leading cutlery production areas. The blade is monosteel stainless, and I believe the steel is probably in the AUS-6 class, but I am not certain.
・What is Mino Takeuchi
They are a knife manufacturer based in Mino City, which is located next to Seki City—an area well known for cutlery production. Since their main clients are professional chefs, they do not publish much company information. However, their technical skill and product quality are unquestionably reliable.
I prefer not to mention specific names out of respect for their business, but they have been involved in OEM production for well-known, high-end knife brands.
