Tojiro Knife Review

Japanese kitchen knives are considered the best in their category, which is not surprising, because in their manufacture centuries-old oriental traditions are combined with the latest technology. Tojiro kitchen knives occupy a leading position in sales not only in Japan but throughout the world. In this article, we will talk about the advantages of cutting brand products, consider the proposed series and give some tips for choosing.

The products of the Land of the Rising Sun are very different from the usual European. First of all, the light weight of the devices should be noted: they are lightweight, and the hand does not get tired during operation, which is especially good for professional chefs. Blades in traditional Japanese instruments have several layers: in the center there is a thin and hard core, and on the sides it is lined with softer overlays. Such knives are harder than European ones.

Multistage processing of the blade allows you to make it not only hard and durable, but also quite flexible. Such knives are incredibly durable, and will not become dull even with prolonged and frequent loads, which undoubtedly makes them even more desirable.

This advantage is highly regarded in cooking. It should also be noted that in the manufacture of Tojiro models not only high-tech, but also environmentally friendly materials are used that do not harm the health of customers. The blades are made of highly pure high-carbon steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion. It is known that it is obtained by powder metallurgy.In addition, the company uses a special technique that makes it possible to produce solid cast knives with increased hygiene.

Japanese devices are convenient to use, they have a special ergonomic handle, which is securely fixed in the hand. This advantage is due to the use of special microcoating, which prevents the slightest slipping of the palm, even if it is wet or stained with oil. For professional chefs, this is very important, since there is not always time to constantly wash and wipe your hands before cutting. The blade is covered with a special antibacterial material which will prevent the growth of harmful bacteria on its surface, even if the device was not immediately washed.

Perhaps one of the main evidence of the highest quality products of the Japanese company Tojiro is lifetime warranty on all products. The brand is so confident in the knives it produces that it is literally ready to vouch for them with its head.

If we talk about the minuses, then for many it is a high price, but the quality of the resulting device is worth it to give good money for it.

The Tojiro brand produces eight series of kitchen knives, among which everyone can choose something for themselves.

A professional set of kitchen knives represents the highest achievement of the Japanese company. The devices of this series are manufactured according to a special damask technology, which involves welding steel strips with different levels of carbon in the composition, woven into a bundle. Depending on the type of knife, the blade may consist of 3, 37 or even 63 layers of steel. This technology allows Tojiro to produce incredibly thin, light, but quite hard and sharp kitchen appliances.

A colored series of kitchen knives with handles of various colors. Optionally, you can purchase tools with black, beige, white, green, blue, yellow or red handle. They will bring color to your kitchen. Hard and sharp blades are made of molybdenum-vanadium steel, which indicates their high characteristics and resistance to damage and corrosion.

The slogan of this series reads: "Tojiro for all." The series was created specifically for home use, and is very convenient for beginners in the kitchen. Among Tojyuro you can find both single-layer and multi-layer tools with a thickness of 3 to 37 layers. In this case, you can purchase both knives with Japanese one-sided sharpening, and with two-sided.

When buying a kitchen knife, you should pay attention to some details. Of course, first of all we look at the design, however, there are characteristics that are much more important. First you need to determine the type of device you are buying. Most often, a universal and cook knife is purchased. The first option is great for cutting salads, making sandwiches and other work where you need a light tool. The chef knife is ideal for chopping, cutting bread, meat, fish and vegetables. With these two knives, you can do almost all the work.

Pay attention not only to the sharpness of sharpening, but also to the handle. The size is selected depending on the size of the cook’s palm. A thin, cylindrical shape is suitable for female handles, a larger one for male ones, with a slight thickening.

The material of the handle is also important - as a rule, it is made of wood, plastic or metal. Each option has both its pros and cons. The first one looks very beautiful and neat, however, it is less hygienic, as dirt can accumulate in the pores. But thanks to the latest Tojiro technology, the latest models of knives with a wooden handle do not have such problems.

For production, only hard rocks are selected that undergo heat treatment and impregnation with a special solution - all this ensures not only hygiene, but also increases strength. Such devices are stamped Eco.

Plastic handles are the simplest both for manufacturing and for external data. Easy to care forhowever, the plastic doesn’t hold well in the palm of your hand and can slip, therefore, for ease of use, rubber inserts are made in plastic handles.

The most practical are metal handles welded in one piece with a blade. They will not fall out, they can be washed in a dishwasher without fear of corrosion or plaque. Such pens can be of any shape. Tojiro has equipped all metal handles with a special anti-slip coating that will not allow the knife to slip out of the hand under any circumstances.
