Tojiro knives

Tojiro is one of the most demanded cutlery manufacturers in Japan. The maker of famous Tojiro chef knives is settled in Niigata City. This region is often mentioned as the center of sake production. However, it is also a traditional center of knife forging, powered by classic Japanese techniques passed down through generations for many years.

A Tojiro chef knife somehow combines easy care and high-class blade sharpness. Based on the traditions, every Tojiro knife’s blade is made of rugged stainless steel of the highest quality. The type of steel used for Tojiro blades is VG-10, which is the material recommended by such respectable organizations as CATRA, the Solingen Institute of Steel in Germany, and the British Steel Confederation. 

Most knives on the international and Japanese markets are quite hard and have big thin blades. However, Tojiro cutlery stands out from the crowd with the collection of unique small blades, which are sharp as scalpels and easy to re-sharpen. Such blades are ideal for any cutting technique and appropriate for any culinary experiment.

What is more, the manufacturer’s approach to crafting handles is also exclusive. Knives provided by Tojiro have never had the same form and design as classic western-styled tools. The shape of the Tojiro knife handle is asymmetry, and it usually has “Shinogi”, which are ridgelines carved on the side surface. Moreover, the handle size is not standard either, as it is selected for every blade type specifically. The material used for the handles is eco-friendly wood.        

It is important to avoid purchasing fake products because copies of classic Tojiro knives can only repeat the design of the cutlery but not the quality. It is possible to order Tojiro knives in the USA directly from Japan through the online store Hocho Knife, which can deliver your purchase to any location you need.
