Takahashi, Takuya

Takuya Takahashi has built his skills over more than a decade while working at the Hattori company, where he trained under the renowned master Ichiro Hattori. Currently, he plays a key role in constructing the foundational structure of knife handles and the blade straightening process(Hizumi-Tori), these processes are very important when creating both quality knives and high-end knives. Over the past few years, he has been deeply involved in creating custom handle designs for a range of Hattori "SAN" Limited Edition knives. This experience has further refined his skills and sense for knife making. During breaks, or after work, Takahashi dedicates his personal time to crafting his own original knife designs. We’re very glad to see his growth, with his latest collection, he has brought forward his own ideas, creativity and vision. Mr. Takahashi values a positive and joyful approach in his craft, he will no doubt continue to develop his talent and artistry as he moves forward in his knife-making journey.
