Tojiro Pro DP knife set – Japanese precision in the kitchen
This exclusive knife set from the Tojiro Pro DP series consists of three carefully selected knives in damascus VG10 steel. The blades are forged with 37 layers of steel using a demanding technique that gives the knives both hardness and flexibility. The set is ideal for kitchens where high demands are placed on cutting precision and durability.
Japanese knife art with historical roots
The damascus technique used on these knives originates from an ancient forging method originally used for sword blades. Tojiro applies their patented "Decarburization Prevention" technique (DP), which preserves maximum carbon content in the steel during forging. This results in extremely hard steel (60 HrC) that holds its edge for a long time and delivers superior cutting precision. Each handle is carefully balanced in relation to the blade so that the knife sits perfectly in the hand during use.
Three specialised knives for different tasks
The set contains three carefully selected knives for different kitchen tasks: a 12 cm paring knife for detailed work, a 17 cm Santoku chef's knife for vegetables and smaller cuts, and a 21 cm chef's knife for larger cutting tasks. The 37 layers of steel not only give the knives their distinctive pattern but also contribute to their strength and cutting properties. The knives are manufactured to professional standards where precision and quality go hand in hand.
Maintaining your quality knives
To preserve the quality of the knives, they should always be washed by hand and dried immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as it will damage both the edge and the blade. The knives are hard and should be handled with care – avoid hard materials such as bones and take care not to drop them on the floor. Even the finest knives need sharpening over time, and we recommend wet sharpening for these hard-steel knives.
With this Tojiro Pro DP knife set you get:
- Three specialised knives in hardened VG10 steel (60 HrC)
- Damascus blade with 37 layers for optimal strength and sharpness
- Perfect balance between blade and handle for precise control

Frequently asked questions
How do I best maintain my Tojiro knives?
Always wash the knives by hand and dry them immediately after use. Avoid the dishwasher and only use the knives on wooden or plastic cutting boards.
How often do the knives need sharpening?
This depends on frequency of use, but quality knives such as these can typically hold their edge for longer. We recommend professional wet sharpening when you notice the knife beginning to lose its sharpness.
