The Tojiro Hammered series of knives represents a combination of tradition and modern steel processing techniques.
This series is characterized by a black forging finish that is very difficult to achieve on stainless steels, then hammer marks and a coating of edible varnish that is responsible for initially preserving the steel from rusting.

Santoku belongs to the most universal forms of knives from Japan. Its tapered tip and slightly shorter blade compared to the Gyuto knife make it attractive to both practicing chefs and households around the world. Due to its increased blade width, the Santoku shape prompts you to chop as much as possible, which is perfect when preparing a lot of vegetables.

The blade consists of 3 layers of steel. A hard core of VG-10 steel, and outer layers made of stainless steel, refined with the "Tsuchime" and "Kurouchi" techniques. This softer steel protects the hard core layer, resulting in a compact blade with high strength and long-lasting sharpness.

The handle is made of Japanese magnolia wood, which is extremely resistant to water, and the collar at the junction of the blade and the handle is made of polypropylene resin.

After repeated use and regular washing, the outer lacquered layer will slowly come off and reveal the final look of this beautiful blade.

How to choose the first Japanese knife?

If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.

Japanese knife as a perfect gift

Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
