lol if there is interest in a pass a round. there is always interest in a good maker. Great looking blade there, hope it is what you were hopeing it would be.

This Takeda profile design really speaks to me, been dreaming about a knife that has a sweet spot near the tip for fine cutting work. How does this compare to the standard Takeda gyuto - visually looks similar, but believe this custom has less belly?

cheers. guys.

ar11, this one is nothing like your standard takeda in profile. its much thinner and a smal belly. the standard takeda has a big belly with slim to non sweetspot. and is thicker.

Hate to revive an old thread. Magnus is there anything you would do different if you had the chance to do it again? Would you still get a takeda seeing how you had to send it back after receiving it? Your profile is exactly what i have been looking for.

Nice handwork Magnus no doubt. It does look and sound like your applying a decent amount of force on the blade to make the cuts. My Takeda Banno had thick secondary bevels, though sharp as hell. That's the reason I finally passed it on. These days I have such a light hand on my knives, I'm just a busy home cook and can take the time to keep fresh edges. Nice hand work Mr M.

That isn't Magnus in the vids. He sent it to a chef buddy to put it through the paces.
