Tojiro Pro DP Santoku Knife, 17 cm, 37 Layer

Tojiro Pro DP Santoku Knife – Sharpness and Precision in the Kitchen

This 17 cm santoku knife from Tojiro's Pro DP series combines Japanese knife craftsmanship with modern technology. With 37 layers of Damascus steel and the VG10 core, the knife achieves an impressive hardness of 60 HrC, delivering outstanding sharpness and durability. The ergonomic black ECO handle with bolster ensures perfect balance and control during use.

Ideal for precision work with vegetables, fruit, and smaller pieces of meat and fish, where the wide blade makes it easy to push cut ingredients to one side.

Japanese Knife Craftsmanship with Modern Technology

The Damascus layering of the 37 steel layers is not only beautiful to look at, but also gives the knife a unique combination of hardness and flexibility. The patented DP technology (Decarburization Prevention) preserves the maximum carbon content in the steel during forging, resulting in a sharper edge with greater longevity. The high hardness of 60 HrC means the knife stays sharp longer than ordinary kitchen knives, but also requires careful use and maintenance.

Perfect Balance and Precision in the Hand

Weighing 270 grams and with an ergonomic ECO handle, the knife sits well in the hand. The bolster protects the handle and contributes to the knife's durability. The santoku knife's wide blade provides good knuckle clearance and allows cut ingredients to be pushed aside with ease. The flat side of the blade prevents food from sticking to the knife during work, making it particularly well suited to precision cuts in vegetables and meat.

Caring for Your Quality Knife

To preserve the knife's quality and sharpness, always wash it by hand and dry it thoroughly after use. It is not dishwasher safe, as this can damage both the edge and the handle. With regular use, wet sharpening is recommended to maintain optimal sharpness. Avoid hard materials such as bones, and take care not to drop the knife, as the hard steel can be sensitive to impact.

Your Tojiro Pro DP Santoku knife gives you:

• Exceptional sharpness and precision thanks to 37 layers of Damascus steel
• Durable cutting performance with the hard VG10 steel core (60 HrC)
• Ergonomic grip with bolster for safe handling and perfect balance

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I best maintain my Tojiro knife?
Always wash the knife by hand and dry it immediately after use. Use a suitable honing steel for day-to-day maintenance and have it professionally sharpened when needed.

What is the difference between a santoku knife and an ordinary chef's knife?
The santoku knife typically has a wider, flatter blade with less of a pointed tip. It is particularly good for precision cuts in vegetables, where the flat side prevents food from sticking to the blade.
