TOKYO – March 4, 2024 – Taski has launched an online store to sell authentic Japanese knives that simplify life in the kitchen with blades that can be sharpened easily by anyone. In addition to introducing people to the simple joy of owning an easily sharpened knife, Taski has rekindled the culture of owning high-quality products that last for a long time.
Taski was born in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, home to the sharpest and most durable Japanese blades. It was in Seki City that the world-renowned Samurai sword was born. The Japanese artisans who create Taski knives tap into this culture of forging sharp, high-quality blades to create the knives in Taski’s collection.
“Each Taski knife is crafted in the same city where authentic “Made in Japan” kitchen knives have been handcrafted for centuries to ensure consistent quality,” says Taski founder Toru Ueda. “The design of the Taski knife is informed by our interactions with skilled craftsmen who have a history of making the sharpest and most durable knives. With this experience, we have created a kitchen knife that is the easiest to handle at home. Moreover, it maintains quality effortlessly.”
The authentic Japanese kitchen knives from Taski are not only incomparably sharp but also easy to maintain. The AUS-8 steel that Taski knives are made of is moderately flexible, making a Taski knife easier for anyone to sharpen and maintain than popular knives made of hard steel like the inflexible VG-10 stainless steel that is difficult for amateurs to sharpen.
In addition to being exceptionally sharp at the time of purchase, a Taski knife does not require special skills to maintain this sharpness. In fact, anyone can maintain a Taski knife from anywhere with no special skills, so it’s easy to maintain this unparalleled sharpness for a long time. Beyond being resilient and tough, AUS steel is more rust-resistant than carbon steel knives of comparable quality.
These kitchen knives are also designed ergonomically and crafted with lightweight materials. Thanks to this thoughtful design, Taski knives reduce wrist fatigue – even during long cooking sessions. This makes a Taski knife a reliable companion in any kitchen.
Beyond Taski’s commitment to producing quality Japanese kitchen knives with enduring sharpness, Taski is committed to supporting the history of the knife industry in Japan. Taski sells all the knives in its collection at fair prices to pass fair returns to the artisans who support this industry. Taski also supports sustainability practices in kitchens worldwide by reintroducing the culture of high-quality products that last a long time in place of today’s throwaway culture.
Taski has already launched its first two kitchen knives – a chef’s knife and a petty knife. Owners of a Taski knife can enjoy a 7-day free trial period (currently only for customers residing in the U.S.A.), a 10-year product warranty, and a free sharpener under certain conditions. These knives are available for purchase on the website and will be shipped starting mid-March.
