Tojiro Pro Western 17cm Santoku Knife
The Santoku knife, an oriental blade, has a special shape that makes it perfect for delicate cutting of meat and fish. Due to its thin blade, it also excels in slicing bread, carving fruits, or chopping herbs.
One of the knife's major advantages is its wide blade, which allows you to easily transfer sliced ingredients or herbs directly from the knife to the pan or pot.

PRO Western
Japanese knives known for their exceptional sharpness thanks to the 3-layer laminated steel with a VG-10 core.
All Tojiro knives are born out of a passion for Japanese culinary traditions, where the ultimate goal is the noble beauty of the dish. This is no different for the Tojiro-Pro knives, which incorporate elements from Japanese swords like "Shinogi" to evoke the traditional shape of Japanese kitchen knives.
In addition to the reliable blade performance, these knives feature a hygienic handle made of 18/8 stainless steel with a "Tornado" pattern. The stainless steel handle is integrated with the blade, and its unique texture prevents the knife from slipping in a kitchen environment (water, grease).
VG-10 was developed by Takefu Special Steel, a company founded in 1954, known for producing laminated steel used in knife manufacturing. This steel's chromium content classifies it as stainless, but the addition of molybdenum, vanadium, and cobalt gives it exceptional corrosion resistance and allows it to be hardened up to 64 HRC, although it typically remains around 60-61 HRC. VG-10's resistance to rust and patina makes kitchen knives from this steel some of the most practical choices for those starting their journey with Japanese knives.
Tojiro
The Japanese brand Tojiro offers over 800 products manufactured using the best technologies and materials. The combination of excellent Japanese steels like VG-10, R-2, or Shirogami with beautiful handles made from exotic wood results in knives that impress with their sharpness and aesthetic qualities.
A testament to their creative passion is Tojiro's patented original method for preventing steel decarburization (DP - Decarburization Prevention). Their products have repeatedly received the Good Design Award, presented by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
