A balanced combination of quality and price
The Narihira range is Tojiro's economy knife line, focused on delivering excellent cutting performance at a reasonable price. The knife has a hardness of 59 HRC, providing an excellent balance between sharpness and durability. Although the steel is not as hard as in Tojiro's more expensive ranges, you still get a knife with outstanding cutting performance. It weighs 247 grams, which provides good balance in the hand without feeling heavy during extended use.
Easy maintenance in busy kitchens
One of the great advantages of this knife is that it is easier to maintain than knives with harder steel. It can easily be honed with an ordinary honing steel, making it ideal for both home cooks and professionals who want a reliable tool without complicated maintenance. The knife is made from a single layer of specially developed Japanese steel, giving it strength and durability. Remember to wash the knife by hand after use and dry it thoroughly to preserve the edge and extend its service life.
