Tadafusa

Founded in 1948 by Sone Torasaburo, Tadafusa has long been part of the rich blacksmithing heritage of Sanjo — a city known throughout Japan as the “town of blacksmiths.” Home to other famed makers like Yoshikane, Hinoura, and Kawamura, Sanjo’s legacy of craftsmanship dates back to the 1600s, and Tadafusa has played a key role in carrying that tradition forward.

Originally crafting sickles and bladed tools using time-honoured forging techniques, Tadafusa later focused its expertise on kitchen knives. Today, they produce a wide range of meticulously finished blades for both professional chefs and home cooks alike — combining classic Sanjo craftsmanship with clean, modern utility.

Handmade in Japan and trusted around the world, Tadafusa knives are a reflection of enduring skill, precision, and the soul of Sanjo’s forging legacy.
