Tojiro DP Paring Knife, 12 cm, 3 layers

Tojiro DP Paring Knife – precision in a compact format

This 12 cm paring knife from the Tojiro DP series combines a hard VG10 centre steel with 13-chrome stainless steel on both sides, resulting in a 3-layer construction with a hardness of 60 HrC. The knife's ECO-Wood handle is made from compressed wood fibres sourced from recycled timber, ensuring a stable grip and outstanding durability.

Ideal for peeling, decorative cutting and precision work with smaller ingredients in the kitchen.

Advanced steel technology for superior sharpness

Tojiro uses a patented technique called Decarburization Prevention (DP) during forging, which preserves the maximum carbon content in the steel even at high temperatures. This results in a blade that stays sharp for longer and delivers precise cuts every time. The three-layer construction combines the best of both worlds: the extreme hardness of the VG10 core steel and the corrosion-resistant surface provided by the surrounding steel.

Considered design for professional use

The knife's bolster is integral to the blade, preventing dirt from accumulating between blade and handle – an important detail for maintaining good kitchen hygiene. The compressed ECO-Wood handle is particularly resistant to moisture and retains its shape perfectly, even after extended use. At 110 grams, the knife has a well-balanced weight that provides excellent control during precision work.

Frequently asked questions

How do I best care for my Tojiro DP knife?
Always wash the knife by hand with mild soapy water and dry it thoroughly after use. Running the knife over a honing steel between sharpenings is an excellent way to maintain the edge.

What does 60 HrC mean?
HrC stands for the Rockwell C scale, which measures the hardness of steel. 60 HrC indicates a very hard steel that holds its edge for a long time, but requires careful handling.
