Tojiro Classic 5 Piece Knife Set / Chef's Knife with Magnetic Knife Block / Ash

---DETAILS---

Since 1953, Tojiro has produced high-quality cutlery in Tsubame-sanjo, a craft centre in Japan specialising in metallurgy. They were one of the first Japanese companies to prove stainless steel knives could be just as effective as carbon steel for culinary use, and their passion for melding traditional Japanese techniques with modern industrial technology has won them multiple international design awards. The Tojiro Classic range features stamped blades with a core of hard VG10 steel (58±1 on the Rockwell Scale), clad with softer stainless steel. These double-sided blades are thinner and more flexible than more traditional forged blades. The riveted Western-style handles, made from ultra-durable resin composite, are ergonomic for a comfortable grip. The knives' full-tang construction enhances blade-to-handle balance and sturdiness. They are built to withstand many years of regular use in home and restaurant kitchens. The Tojiro Classic 5-Piece Knife Set includes a 21cm chef's knife, a 21.5cm bread knife, a 21cm carving knife, a 15cm utility knife, a 9cm paring knife, and a  from Zassenhaus.

As with all Japanese knives, they must be used with care – make sure to avoid tough impact with bones and frozen food. For more on Japanese knife care, read our guide .
