The Japanese Tojiro kitchen knife is an excellent kitchen tool made from the legendary VG-10 steel, which is known worldwide for its durability and unmatched cutting qualities. Takefu has developed a metal hardening quality standard of 61 HRC, which has become a benchmark for chef's tools. The knife is fully protected against corrosion and reinforced with additional metal plates for strength. The cutting edge is sharpened symmetrically and finely, allowing you to cut products easily and quickly. The handle literally merges with the hand, and the cooking process becomes a simple and interesting pastime.
Knife care tips:
- Cut on a plastic or wooden board, but not bamboo. Never cut on a glass board, porcelain plate or against your fingers;
- Do not apply lateral load or twisting to the cutting edge;
- Sharpen often – a knife is easier to keep razor-sharp than to restore when it is very worn;
- Do not wash in a dishwasher;
- Kitchen knives are intended for use in the kitchen only.

Tojiro is a Japanese company specialising in the production of high-quality kitchen knives. Tojiro started knife production in 1955 with a stainless steel fruit knife. With the slogan "More than sharpness", they strive to provide not only sharpness but also a feeling that the knife sits comfortably in your hand while you use it, becoming your partner. Tojiro combines Japanese knife-making traditions with modern technology. In other words, they benefit from the high efficiency of production, modern machines and the qualities of forged steel combined with the skill and instinct of craftsmen, through hand finishing and quality control. They continue to make efforts to produce knives carefully, so that a Tojiro knife can provide the greatest customer satisfaction. The most commonly used material for their kitchen knives is laminated steel. It is forged in the same way as the traditional Japanese "Katana" sword is forged from tamahagane.
