Japanese quality for everyday use
The Narihira series is Tojiro's economical line, with knives produced under license. While the steel isn't as hard as that found in Tojiro's premium series, you still get a knife with outstanding cutting properties. One of the main advantages of this knife is that it’s easier to maintain with a regular honing steel compared to harder Japanese knives, making it particularly suitable for both home cooks and professionals seeking quality without investing in the most expensive models.

The black ECO handle ensures a secure grip, even with wet hands. Weighing in at 275 grams provides enough heft for effective cutting without feeling heavy during prolonged use. The blade's hardness of 59 HRC means the knife stays sharp for a long time, while still being relatively easy to maintain.
