Tojiro Pro DP Vegetable Knife, 17 cm, 37 Layer

Tojiro Pro DP Santoku Knife – Precision in 37-Layer Damascus Steel

This 17 cm santoku knife from the Tojiro Pro DP series combines Japanese craftsmanship with 37-layer Damascus steel. Weighing 270 grams and with a hardness of 60 HrC, the VG10 steel core delivers exceptional sharpness and durability. The black ECO handle with bolster ensures perfect balance during use.

Ideal for precise slicing, chopping, and dicing of vegetables, herbs, and meat, where the wide blade provides excellent control and stability at the worktop.

Japanese Damascus Steel Technology

The 37 layers of Damascus steel in the knife are created through a demanding forging technique originally used for sword blades. Tojiro's patented DP technology (Decarburization Prevention) preserves the maximum carbon content in the steel during production, resulting in a blade that is both exceptionally hard (60 HrC) and flexible. This delivers a sharpness that lasts longer than ordinary knives and a precision that makes even the most detailed cuts possible.

Perfect Balance and Comfort

The thoughtfully considered weight distribution of 270 grams gives the knife a natural balance that reduces fatigue during extended use. The bolster, where the blade meets the handle, is perfectly fitted for maximum control and safety. The ECO handle sits comfortably in the hand and provides a secure grip, even when working with wet ingredients. The 17 cm blade is carefully proportioned to handle both large vegetables and more intricate cutting work.

Caring for Quality Knives

To preserve the knife's outstanding properties, it should always be washed by hand and dried immediately after use. Avoid hard surfaces and dishwashers, as these can damage the fine edge. With regular use, professional wet sharpening is recommended to maintain optimal sharpness. With proper care, this knife will be a faithful companion in the kitchen for many years.

The Tojiro Pro DP Santoku knife gives you: • Superior cutting performance with 37-layer Damascus steel and VG10 core • Perfect balance and comfort with a thoughtfully considered weight distribution of 270 grams • Durable construction with bolster and ECO handle for long-lasting use
