Tadafusa

The founder of Tadafusa, Sone Torasaburo started the company from nothing in the 23rd year of the Showa era in 1948. He made various kinds of knives such as sickles, short swords and kitchen knives by using the forging techniques he learned as an apprentice making hand-forged metal scales. He gradually started to specialize in making fishing knives but also kitchen knives and special knives (like Soba knife) for home and professional use. Since the company’s foundation, they strive to create “the best knives” with the human factor in every step of the process and to make each knife with utmost enthusiasm.
