Tojiro Pro DP Utility Knife – precision in Damascus steel
This 15 cm utility knife from the Tojiro Pro DP series is crafted from 37 layers of Damascus steel with a core of VG10 steel, hardened to 60 HrC. The elegant knife combines Japanese craft tradition with modern technology through Tojiro's patented DP technique (Decarburization Prevention), which retains maximum carbon content during the forging process.
Ideal for precision work in the kitchen such as peeling, decorative cutting and handling smaller ingredients, where control and accuracy are paramount.
Japanese knife artistry with extraordinary sharpness
The 37-layer Damascus steel not only gives the knife a beautiful, flowing pattern but also contributes to the blade's strength and flexibility. This forging method, historically used for sword blades, ensures the knife is hard enough to hold its edge whilst remaining flexible enough to withstand daily use. The VG10 steel core hardened to 60 HrC delivers exceptional sharpness that lasts.
Perfect balance and precision in the hand
Weighing just 140 grams with an ECO handle, the knife sits perfectly in the hand. The integrated bolster ensures a stable transition between blade and handle, providing optimal control during use. The 15 cm blade is ideal for precision tasks where a standard chef's knife might feel too large and cumbersome. The black finish gives the knife a timeless look that suits any kitchen.
Caring for your quality knife
To preserve the knife's exceptional qualities, proper care is essential. Always wash the knife by hand – never in a dishwasher, as this can ruin both the edge and the handle. Dry the knife thoroughly after use. Avoid hard objects such as bones, and take care not to drop the knife, as the hard steel can be damaged. Regular sharpening, preferably wet sharpening, will keep the knife sharp for many years to come.
With the Tojiro Pro DP utility knife you get:
- An exceptionally sharp blade in 37-layer Damascus steel
- Perfect balance and control for precision work
- Handcrafted Japanese quality with long-lasting durability
