Product detail
Shirogami or White paper steel is an ideal material for the production of traditional knives of the eastern type. This steel is characterized by a high carbon content, which is synonymous with hardness. This usually reaches over 61 HRC. However, it also requires maintenance as it tends to corrode. Therefore, the knives must be rinsed, dried and oiled after use, as sushi masters do. But you don't have to worry, the whole care is easier than it seems. You can use Hamono Abura oil or Camellia oil from our offer. Finally, insert the knife into the paper package that is included in the package. The Shirogami core is protected on the sides by softer steel. This makes it easier to sharpen knives on ceramic stones.
These beautiful and traditional knives have a double-sided edge, which is still closer to our needs. The blade is in a dark rustic design / kurouchi / and is separated from the oak handle in the shape of "D" by a resin ferrule.
Materially and visually, these knives will not find any competitors, and if it happens, the price will not give them any chance.

About producer
We have been watching the Tojiro brand for several years. We focused our attention not only on the kitchen knives themselves, but also on the history and background of the company, the scope of its assortment and the ability to repeatedly achieve the highest quality standards. Finally, after getting to know each other for a long time, we had the honor of representing the Tojiro brand in Slovakia.
There are several areas in Japan famous for the concentration of exceptional blacksmiths and grinders. Cities like Seki, Sakai, Takefu, Tsubame-Sanjo need no introduction to lovers of noble knives. And it is in the Tsubame-Sanjo area in Niigata Prefecture that Tojiro is based.
Tojiro is known above all for its strict adherence to proven techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation since the Edo period. It was the duty of every wealthy feudal lord to spend a certain amount of time in the capital city of Edo. It was a sign of respect for the ruling shogun. The feudal lords brought the best quality products from their regions to the shogun. Therefore, each of them employed the best craftsmen on their estate. Blacksmiths were of course no exception. Today, the shogun for a Japanese manufacturer is its customer. This explains the enormous care for quality that producers devote to their products.
Since the mere observance of tradition is not enough in today's competitive environment, Tojiro introduces new advanced procedures and technologies into its production. It is enough to mention the DP method, in which the manufacturer can prevent unwanted decarbonization at higher temperatures. The result is very hard and durable blades DP series kitchen knives. It may be safe to say that Tojiro represents a clear symbiosis of tradition and revolutionary techniques.
Nippon Knives has selected for you the most interesting from the Tojiro production program, not only in terms of quality but also in terms of price. The ratio of price to performance is a very strong point of the Tojiro company. See for yourself and enter the catalog of our products.
