Santoku knife with 60 HRC hardness for precision work
The Tojiro DP Santoku knife features a 17 cm blade that combines extreme hardness with surprising flexibility. Constructed with three layers of steel, the center core boasts an impressive hardness of 60 HRC. The handle is made from eco-friendly ECO-Wood fibers derived from recycled wood, which are tightly compressed to maintain shape and provide optimal balance.
Perfect for precision tasks with vegetables, fruits, and smaller cuts of meat and fish, where accurate slicing is crucial for both appearance and cooking.
Japanese precision steel with a unique hardening process
Tojiro employs a patented technique called "Decarburization Prevention" (DP), which preserves the maximum carbon content in the steel during the forging process. This results in exceptional sharpness and durability compared to conventional knives. The three-layer construction combines 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 achieve perfect balance in hand.
Eco-friendly handle with professional durability
The ECO-Wood handle consists of compressed wood fibers from recycled wood. The high compression level prevents the handle from loosening at the rivets over time—a common issue with traditional wooden handles. This provides both a longer lifespan and improved hygiene. The black finish gives the knife a classic, professional look that fits seamlessly into any kitchen. Weighing 400 grams, the knife sits steadily and securely in hand during use.
Maintaining your Tojiro DP Santoku knife
To preserve the knife's exceptional qualities, always wash it by hand and dry it immediately after use. The knife is not dishwasher safe, as this can damage both the blade and the handle. Avoid cutting hard items like bones, and store the knife protected. With proper maintenance, the knife can be sharpened nearly infinitely and will last for many years.
