World-class Japanese knife-making artistry
Tojiro Pro knives are crafted according to ancient Japanese traditions, where damasking was originally developed in the 4th century for sword blades. This technique ensures a knife that is both extremely sharp and possesses the necessary flexibility. The 63 layers of steel are forged together with the addition of cobalt, tungsten, and nickel, which give the knife its distinctive pattern and exceptional properties. The serrated edge also provides better grip on foods with tough surfaces.
Handling and maintenance
This Japanese quality knife requires careful handling. The hard steel offers fantastic sharpness, but it also means the knife must be treated with respect. Avoid hard surfaces such as bones or frozen food, as this can damage the edge. The knife should not be placed in the dishwasher; it must be hand-washed and thoroughly dried after use. With its ergonomic ECO handle, the knife feels comfortable in hand, even during extended use.
