The Santoku knife is a utility knife that in Japanese means "three virtues", since it can be used for meat, fish, and vegetables. Its tip is sharper than the chef's knife, and its blade length is ideal for chopping even on the home kitchen counter, where space is usually narrower. Its light weight makes it comfortable and relaxing even after long hours of use.

Great cut Every Japanese knife stands out first and foremost for its blade, and the Tojiro Pro features an extremely sharp blade that lasts for a long time without the need for special maintenance. It consists of the innovative Japanese VG10 stainless steel alloy in its center, which provides exceptional hardness and durability. The VG10 is covered by two layers of 13% chromium soft stainless steel for easier sharpening and better knife protection. Each Tojiro Pro is sharpened manually by experienced Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15 ° to get a sharp blade.

Comfortable and firm grip With a fully stainless steel handle, maintenance of this knife is extremely easy, ensuring a knife completely free of microorganisms, since it can be easily sterilized in boiling water. What's more, the detailed streaks on the handle, apart from the distinctive aesthetics, offer a solid grip that is maintained even with wet or oiled hands and a pleasant hand feel at all times.

Delicate balance Its high hardness ensures a tool with high sharpness at low weight. So, even its extended, long-term use becomes easier and more relaxing. The handle balances perfectly with the blade, giving you better control over your every move. You can use it as often as you like, without worrying that it will lose its sharpness or need special care for proper maintenance.

It is recommended avoiding a dishwasher on any good knife. Hand washing in warm water and quick wiping is enough for any stainless knife. Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Soft steel knives need stone grinding more often, but they can also revert to their previous condition temporarily with the use of a sharpener steel.
