Tojiro knives epitomize everything I like in a knife.The blade edges are made from a high-carbon steel and Molybdenum blend, providing a sharp cutting surface that will hold its edge. Like their more expensive competitors from Shun, their blades are “wrapped” in softer, stain-resistant steel to protect the blade.
Japan has a long tradition of knife manufacturing. Over one thousand years ago, Japanese swordsmiths developed the art of sword making to provide strong, sharp blades for the Samurai, the feared warrior caste.
Tojiro have adopted many of these traditional techniques in producing knives for the 21st Century which incorporate the same multi-layered blades so painstakingly produced by masters in the past, and which both look and perform as well in a kitchen as their predecessors did in the fields. Each knife is carefully assembled and finished, and comes with our full guarantee. |
