Description
Tojiro's DP Santoku wraps a VG-10 core between soft stainless outer layers for an edge that's both razor-sharp and resistant to chipping. The 17cm blade nails all three virtues—slicing, dicing, and mincing—while the Pakkawood handle sits comfortably in a pinch grip. An essential Japanese kitchen knife for everyday prep.
Three Virtues in Motion
Rock the curved belly through a mound of fresh herbs—the VG-10 edge parts each leaf cleanly, releasing fragrance without bruising. Switch to a push-cut through daikon and the blade glides as if gravity alone does the work.
Morning mise en place becomes a quiet pleasure rather than a chore.
Seki City Precision
Forged in Seki, Japan's blade capital, Tojiro sandwiches a VG-10 core between softer stainless layers that shield the hard cutting edge from lateral shock.
The Pakkawood handle is resin-stabilised for moisture resistance, its dark grain echoing the understated style of traditional Japanese toolmaking.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
