Tojiro Santoku Knife
$90.00
Description:
TOJIRO’s home-use model is designed with a clear purpose: bringing professional sharpness into everyday kitchens. Light in hand and balanced in form, it delivers precision without excess.
The blade is crafted from VG10, a premium Japanese knife steel known for exceptional sharpness and strong edge retention. A convex grind strengthens the cutting edge, helping it stay sharper longer while remaining durable and easy to resharpen. This extra strong blade is ideal for chopping tasks.
The handle is made from laminated pakkawood, formed by compressing thin layers of wood for strength and stability. It resists water, maintains hygiene, and is secured firmly with three rivets for a solid, confident grip. Practical, refined, and built for daily use.
History:
Since 1955, TOJIRO has been redefining Japanese knives by blending tradition and innovation. Each blade is forged from premium clad steel using techniques inspired by katana craftsmanship and then refined with modern precision in Tsubame, Niigata, a region renowned for metalwork.
The result is a knife that balances sharpness, durability, and form. Designed to fit naturally in your hand, TOJIRO knives transform everyday cooking into a ritual of care and precision, bringing professional performance and thoughtful design into the home.
