About the Maker

Takeda, Shosui
Takeda, Shosui

The third-generation master blacksmith Shosui Takeda was born and raised in Niimi, Okayama in Japan. After graduating from a university and working in Tokyo, he returned to his hometown to succeed his father as a blacksmith. Since 1985 he has strived and studied to produce the very best hand-forged blades and tools. His knives are forged by hand with his small staff of master smiths. Each blade holds its edge extraordinarily well and resharpens easily. All his knives have 50/50 edges and octagonal handles so they are good for either right-handed or left-handed users. His good old-fashioned hard work makes for one-of-a-kind knives.

I've been collecting knives for about 45 years. First the kind you'd find in the local drug store/soda fountain/candy store, on a cardboard plackard. When the Internet happened, so did my tastes, buying power, and the knife industry. For about the last 15 years I've been customizing other people's knives along with my own. When I lived NJ, I had a nice little workshop set up. When I moved to FL I had to leave it all behind. My drill press weighed 135 lbs alone. Over the last few years I've been buying new equipment, as I could afford it. Now I'm ready to take it to the next level and start building my own knives. As far as knives go, I have very eclective tastes. So, you may see anything coming out of my shop. I hope I can eventually surprize and entice you with my work. I really like to use exotic woods and exotic animal hides in my pieces.
