This **Eden Takara Gyuto 21 cm** is the Japanese version of our European chef's knife. With a blade length of 21 cm and a longer handle this knife is just one step bigger than a normal 20 cm chef’s knife. This is the allround kitchen aid with superior cutting properties. A joy to work with and a beauty to look at.

## Eden Takara: Made by Yu Kurosaki
The kitchen knives from the Eden Takara collection are made by hand in Japan by Yu Kurosaki. A traditional knife maker from Sabae, Japan. As such these knives are not made in an industrial factory, but a small workshop. The light weight, hammered finish of the blade and razor-sharp edge are characterizing for this knife. Takara means 'treasure' in Japanese. And it describes exactly how valuable this knife will be for your kitchen.

## The blade
The core of the blade is forged from top-quality Aogami Blue Paper steel. This is a non-stainless carbon steel which has been hardened up to approx. 63 HRC for the Takara series. This hardness also ensures you can sharpen this type of steel razor-sharp. This core is laminated in between two layers of softer stainless steel for protection. These layers are finished with a hammered finish, called Tsuchime in Japanese. This finish applied after the heat treatment. This technique is called cold forging and leaves you with a remarkable design and rock-solid blade.

## The handle
The handle is made from red sandal wood and the bolster from maple wood. The handle is shaped according to the octagonal, Japanese WA design and is therefore very lightweight. Because the handle is enhanced with a slight wax layer it can handle a couple drops of water, but it is best if you make sure it stays as dry as possible.

## Tips

It important with these Japanese kitchen knives to use and care for them properly. The edge is thinly sharpened and very hard. Improper use may damage the edge. Always use the knife on a wooden or soft plastic cutting board. Each lateral movement with the knife should be avoided. Prying, wedging and chopping are out of the question! Also, stay away from bones and frozen foods. Because the core of the blade is not stainless, it must be washed and dried immediately after use. Don’t wait until after the meal, but clean it directly after cutting. You also have to wash it by hand. Dishwashers will do irreparable damage to these knives. 

## Sharpening Eden Takara kitchen knives

Do not sharpen these knives with a pull-through sharpener. Because of the hardness of the steel and the sideways movements that are made with a pull-through sharpener pieces of the edge can break off. That is why we recommend sharpening these knives by hand on a sharpening stone, sharpening steel or with a sharpening system.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

Measured from the tip of the blade to the back of the handle

Total length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).

value_total_sharpening_angle

This is the total sharpening angle, so the sharpening angles of both sides of the blade combined. For a knife with a one-sided grind this equals a single sharpening angle.
