Tojiro Santoku Knife 17 cm Basic F-316

Introducing the new Basic Knife Series from Tojiro, perhaps the best value-for-money option on the market!

This series stands out for its blade, crafted from the renowned VG-10 steel, and includes the four essential kitchen knives.

Key Features:

• Blade with a VG-10 steel core (V Gold No. 10) and stainless steel cladding.

• Extremely sharp and well-balanced.

• Highly durable with long-lasting edge retention.

• Hand-sharpened for outstanding performance from the very first use.

• Handle made from pakkawood.

• Authentic Japanese craftsmanship.

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.

Blade that guarantees performance Crafted with a core of VG-10 steel (V Gold No. 10), the blade offers the following key features: high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, and exceptional sharpness. The two outer layers are made of stainless steel for added protection. Each knife in the Basic series is hand-sharpened by skilled japanese artisans, ensuring peak performance from the first use.

Durable Pakka Wood Handle The first part of the knife you come in contact with is the handle. The handle of the Basic series is made from reinforced laminated wood (pakkawood), with a dark color and beautiful details. It is highly resistant to water compared to traditional wood, ensuring durability and longevity. The shape of the handle offers a firm grip, preventing the knife from slipping in your hand. The three stainless steel rivets guarantee even greater stability and strength, making the handle both practical and visually appealing.

Made In Japan The Japanese tradition of knife making spans many years, rooted in the techniques that perfected samurai blades. Today, this tradition merges with the latest innovations in metal alloys and knife craftsmanship.

Tojiro is among Japan's top five knife makers, seamlessly combining the essence of Japanese authenticity with modern technology.

Additional Features:

• Weight: 130 gr

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.
