The Izutsuki line represents uncompromising Japanese sharpness in its purest form. Within the range, it uses the hardest steels and is designed for immediate precision, very direct cutting characteristics, and maximum sharpness.

Depending on the knife, blue Yasugi paper steel or Takefu V2 special steel is used. This specific choice of materials gives the line its clear, fine, and extremely responsive cutting characteristics. It is shaped by the Echizen tradition and Toshiki Nanbu's signature, which stands for extremely fine and light blades.

Those who choose Izutsuki are selecting the purest form of Japanese precision within ISSHO TABERU. Like many traditional carbon steels, this line requires a bit more care in maintenance.
