Ideal for professional chefs and food enthusiasts who appreciate precision and durability in their cutting tasks.

World-class Japanese smithing

This chef's knife is the result of generations of smithing tradition. The fine balance of tungsten, chromium, carbon, and iron in the Aogami steel gives the knife a sharpness comparable to that of a razor blade. The 21-layer Damascus construction not only gives the knife a beautiful appearance but also enhances its strength and cutting performance. The bright Cinamomum wood handle fits comfortably in your hand, providing full control during your cutting tasks.

Sharpness that lasts longer

With a hardness of 62 HRC, this knife maintains its sharpness significantly longer than standard kitchen knives. This means fewer interruptions in your work and more consistent cutting results. The sharp edge slices through ingredients with minimal resistance, preserving their structure and flavor. The result is more precise cuts, faster preparation, and ultimately, a better final presentation on the plate.

Maintaining your quality knife

To preserve the knife's quality, it requires careful maintenance. Always dry the knife thoroughly after use or washing, and apply medical oil regularly to prevent rust and discoloration. Avoid using the knife on hard objects like bones, and never wash it in the dishwasher. With proper maintenance, this knife will be a reliable companion in the kitchen for many years to come.

This Tojiro chef's knife offers you:

• Exceptional sharpness through Aogami #2 steel core
• Durability and strength from 21-layer Damascus steel
