Santoku knife with 60 HrC hardness for precision work
The Tojiro DP Santoku knife with a 17 cm blade combines extreme hardness with surprising flexibility. The knife is constructed with 3 layers of steel, where the core has an impressive hardness of 60 HrC. The handle is made from ECO-Wood wood fibres, heavily compressed to maintain its shape and provide optimal balance.
Ideal for precision work with vegetables, fruit and smaller cuts of meat and fish, where accurate cuts are essential for both appearance and cooking.
Japanese precision steel with a unique hardening process
Tojiro employs a patented technique called "Decarburization Prevention" (DP), which retains maximum carbon content in the steel during the forging process. This gives the knife exceptional sharpness and durability compared with conventional knives. The three-layer construction combines the hard core steel with protective outer layers, ensuring both sharpness and resistance to corrosion. The bolster is precisely fitted and the rivets are positioned to give the knife perfect balance in the hand.
ECO-Wood handle with professional durability
The ECO-Wood handle is made from compressed wood fibres. The high degree of compression prevents the handle from loosening at the rivets over time – a common problem with traditional wooden handles. This results in both a longer service life and improved hygiene. The black finish gives the knife a classic, professional appearance that suits any kitchen. Weighing 400 grams, the knife sits firmly and securely in the hand during use.
Caring for your Tojiro DP Santoku knife
To preserve the knife's exceptional qualities, it should always be washed by hand and dried immediately after use. The knife is not dishwasher safe, as this will damage both the edge and the handle. Avoid hard objects such as bones during use, and store the knife safely. With proper care, the knife can be sharpened almost indefinitely and will last for many years.
