Tojiro company presents the project "My First Knife"! It is intended for children over 3 years old and is considered the right choice for children over 10 years old because the knife is designed for beginners.

The blade is made of stainless steel in a Santoku shape with a completely blunt tip so that children cannot stab themselves on the knife. The stable plastic handle with a hook at the very end is designed to fit better in the hand and provide comfort during use.

The blade is significantly shorter than regular Santoku knives, but the height of the blade is also higher to make chopping and slicing movements as well as handling them easier for children. The entire design of the knife is adapted to the needs of children.

Finally, we note that the knife, although intended for children, is sharpened and can be used like other auxiliary knives, so you should pay attention to the little ones and show them how to use it correctly and be with them until they master chopping skills.

After use, wash the knife by hand with lukewarm water and dry it.
Store the knife in a safe place where it will not collide with other utensils.
The best way to sharpen Japanese knives is by hand on a stone. Check out our range of sharpening stones.
You use your knife to perform the tasks for which it is intended. Do not use it for other purposes.
