All Stainless Japanese Style Knives, First in the Industry
All stainless Japanese style knives, which is first in the industry, are launched. This series is Japanese style knifves for next generations with the amazing sharpness and durability of stainless handles. This series is exactly a new global standard of Japanese style knife for next generation. We won a Good Design Award on this series in 2000, which is a proof of its functional advantages and beautiful style.
Exclusive Size of 18-8 Stainless Asymmetry-shape Handle
“Tojiro” never employed the same shape of the handle as western style we currently have. We did not choose the easy way. The handle inherited Japanese traditions has “Shinogi” on the side and the shape is asymmetry. The handle sizes are exclusively made for each kind of blades, which is our enthusiasm. We put tornado patterns, which is an identity of “Tojiro” on handles that were designed considering comfort grip as a top priority. The tornado patterns give you a not only the beautiful looking but less slippery even if you use with wet or greasy hand. The handles also have weight plate inside. It will realize an optimum balance and lead to your perfect control.
Because we never try to be very different for the shape of the handle to keep advantages of traditional wooden handle, you can use it as if the handle was the same one you have been using. Of course this handle is no breakage and corrosion with long time use. Also because stainless handle does not have any chink, crack or connection part just like wooden handle, it prevents bacteria spreading and sterilizing in boiling water is possible.
Artistic Edging with Heart and Soul
Sticking to sharpness, the edge satisfies even professionals. We have more than 5 manufacturing process for edging on this series and are willing to spend a lot of time. Usually, durability is required for business-use, however, “Tojiro” have been pursuing the sharpness and studying edging and structure of a blade for a long time. This is one of a reason that many professionals use “Tojiro” as their favorite knife all over the world.
