Tojiro Pro Bread Knife with 63 Damascus Steel Layers for Precise Cutting
This Tojiro Pro bread knife with a 24 cm blade combines Japanese blade-smithing tradition with modern technology. The knife is made with 63 layers of damascus steel, delivering an exceptionally sharp edge and outstanding durability. The specially developed ECO handle is designed with environmental considerations in mind whilst preserving the natural properties of the wood.
Ideal for precise cutting of bread with a crispy crust, but equally suited to ingredients with a hard, smooth or tough surface thanks to the effective serrated edge.
Japanese smithing tradition meets modern cooking
The origins of the damascus technique date back to the 4th century in Damascus, where the method was developed to produce stronger sword blades. Today this demanding technique is used primarily for Japanese quality knives. By forging many layers of steel together, a blade is achieved that is both extremely hard (61–63 HRC) and yet remarkably flexible – the very qualities that made samurai swords so effective.
Professional cutting performance in your kitchen
With this Tojiro Pro bread knife you get a precision tool that cuts cleanly through even the hardest bread crusts without crushing the loaf. The serrated edge ensures the knife glides through the food with minimal resistance. The well-balanced design at 300 grams provides optimal control during use, reducing the risk of repetitive strain and making food preparation more efficient.
Care and specifications
To preserve the knife's quality and sharpness, hand-washing is recommended, as the knife is not dishwasher safe. Please note that the knife's extreme hardness means it should be used with care – avoid cutting bones or hard objects, and take care not to drop the knife as this can damage the edge. The blade length is 240 mm and the knife features a black ECO handle.
