Tojiro Pro DP Knife Set - Japanese Precision in the Kitchen
This exclusive knife set from Tojiro Pro DP series includes three carefully selected knives made of damasked VG10 steel. The blades are forged with 37 layers of steel using a demanding technique that provides both hardness and flexibility. This set is ideal for kitchens that require high standards of cutting precision and durability.
Japanese Knife Craft with Historical Roots
The damasking of the knives originates from an ancient forging technique originally used for sword blades. Tojiro employs their patented "Decarburization Prevention" technique (DP), which preserves the maximum carbon content in the steel during forging. This results in extremely hard steel (60 HrC) that retains its sharpness for a long time and gives you superior cutting precision. Each handle is carefully balanced to the blade, ensuring the knife feels perfect in your hand during use.
Three Specialized Knives for Different Tasks
The set includes three specially selected knives for various kitchen tasks: a 12 cm paring knife for detailed work, a 17 cm Santoku chef's knife for vegetables and smaller cuts, and a 21 cm chef's knife for larger cutting tasks. The 37 layers of steel not only give the knives their distinctive pattern but also contribute to their strength and cutting performance. The knives are made to professional standards where precision and quality go hand in hand.
Maintaining Your Quality Knives
To preserve the quality of the knives, they should always be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as it damages both the edge and blade. The knives are hard and should be used with care—avoid cutting tough items like bones and be cautious not to drop them on the floor. Even the best knives require sharpening over time, and we recommend wet sharpening for these high-carbon steel knives.
With this Tojiro Pro DP knife set, you receive:
- Three specialized knives made of durable VG10 steel (60 HrC)
- Damasked blade with 37 layers for optimal strength and sharpness
- Perfect balance between blade and handle for precise control

Always wash the knives by hand and dry them immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher and only use the knives on wooden or plastic cutting boards.
