Japanese Cutting The metal alloy on this knife is made of stainless steel enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, an alloy that increases the metal's hardness, durability and corrosion resistance. Although traditional Japanese knives are made of high carbon steel but require daily care and attention, this new generation of Japanese metal and Tojiro techniques create an exceptional combination of toughness and durability. Sharp blade and less grinding time, without demanding daily care. The perfect metal for your first step in the field of traditional Japanese knives, as well as for the hassle-free daily use.

If you want to cut food into very thin slices or create pieces with very precise symmetry, and even with quick movements without leaving any food left on the knife, then you will love the single cut of this knife. The above tasks are very common in Japanese cuisine, so traditional Japanese knives are sharpened only on one side. The knife is sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on only one side at 15 ° to get a really sharp blade.

Stainless steel, asymmetric handle The first part of the knife you come in contact with is its handle. Tojiro craftsmen did not adopt the western style, they did not choose the easy way. The Tojiro handles are made according to the blade of the knife and this makes the Tojiro knives truly unique. The handle of the Tojiro-Pro SD is asymmetric and on the one side has the characteristic recesses - a trademark of Tojiro which, in addition to beauty, offer comfortable grip and non-slip. The handles are also designed to give the knife an absolute balance leading to optimal control. Still, the handle design is close to that of the traditional Tojiro wooden handle. Thus, in addition to being comfortable, the handle is at the same time resistant to damage & corrosion, one-piece to prevent the spread of bacteria and can be sterilized in boiling water.

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.
