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

This 17 cm Santoku knife from Tojiro's Pro DP series combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern technology. Featuring 37 layers of damask steel with a VG10 core, the knife achieves an impressive hardness of 60 HrC, ensuring exceptional sharpness and durability. The ergonomic black ECO handle with bolster guarantees perfect balance and control during use.

Ideal for precision tasks with vegetables, fruits, and smaller pieces of meat and fish, the wide blade allows you to easily push aside cut ingredients.

Japanese craftsmanship meets modern technology

The damask pattern of the 37 layers of steel is not only visually striking but also provides the knife with a unique combination of hardness and flexibility. The patented DP technique (Decarburization Prevention) maximizes the carbon content in the steel during forging, resulting in a sharper edge that lasts longer. The high hardness of 60 HrC means that the knife retains its sharpness longer than standard kitchen knives, but it requires careful use and maintenance.

Perfect balance and precision in your hand

Weighing in at 270 grams and featuring an ergonomic ECO handle, the knife feels great in your hand. The bolster protects the handle and contributes to the knife's durability. The broad blade of the Santoku knife provides excellent knuckle clearance and allows you to push cut ingredients away easily. The flat side of the blade prevents food from sticking during work, making it particularly suitable for precision cuts in vegetables and meat.

Maintaining 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. For regular use, wet sharpening is recommended to maintain optimal sharpness. Avoid cutting hard items like bones, and be careful not to drop the knife, as the hard steel can be sensitive to impact.

Your Tojiro Pro DP Santoku Knife offers you:

• Exceptional sharpness and precision thanks to 37 layers of damask steel
• Durable cutting ability 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 regular maintenance and have it professionally sharpened as needed.

What is the difference between a Santoku knife and a regular chef's knife?
The Santoku knife typically has a wider, flat blade with a less pronounced tip. It is particularly good for precise cuts in vegetables, as the flat side prevents food from sticking to the knife.
