Product detail
Introducing the successor to the popular Shippu Black Edition series. Tojiro Sakuya. Saku means the new moon and ya is the name for the night. It is a reference to the dark matte blades. Just like the dark night of the new moon. However, soon the moon will grow and its light will "cut" the darkness. Just like the glittering edge on a dark blade. So much for symbolism.
Tojiro Sakuya knives impress with their elegance at first glance. The first thing you notice is the dark Damascus blade in a matte finish. We would like to make the manufacturing process accessible to you, but Tojiro carefully guards it. In particular, the matte texture of the 63-layer (Petty 37 layers) blade is a truly rare phenomenon. Add the insignia in gold, of course again matte, and we get a foundation that can no longer be spoiled. And the “refining” continues. The core made of proven VG10, which excels in the balance of key properties, ensures flawless cutting performance.
The rest of the product is also luxurious. On an octagonal handle made of exotic ebony, mounting a ferrule would be a sin. The gracefully presented elegance of the design and the quality of the materials used will be hard to find competitors.
Even an experienced manufacturer would be unlikely to be able to copy this product. However, Tojiro leaves nothing to chance. Each package has been equipped with an NFC code that, when scanned, displays a certificate of authenticity with the product's serial number.

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.
