TOJIRO

We have been observing the Tojiro brand for several years. We focused our attention not only on the knives themselves, but also on the history and background of the company, the breadth of its range and the ability to repeatedly achieve the highest quality standards. Finally, after a long mutual acquaintance, 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 do not need to be introduced to lovers of noble swords and knives. And it is in the Tsubame-Sanjo area of Niigata Prefecture that Tojiro is based.

Tojiro is best known for his strict adherence to proven techniques that have been passed down from the generation

 to generation since Edo period. It was the duty of every wealthy feudal lord to spend some time in the capital, Edo. It was a sign of respect for the ruling shogun. The feudal lords brought to shogun the highest quality products from their areas. Therefore, each of them employed the best craftsmen on their estate. Of course, blacksmiths were no exception. Today, his customer represents the Japanese shogun to this manufacturer. This explains the enormous concern for quality that producers pay to their products.

As adherence to tradition alone is not enough in today's competitive environment, Tojiro introduces new advanced processes and technologies into its production. Let´s mention the DP method, in which the manufacturer cooperated with the Takefu Special Steel plant, which aims to  prevent undesired decarbonization at higher temperatures. The result is very hard and durable DP blades. We can say that Tojiro represents a pure symbiosis of tradition and revolutionary techniques.
