Tojiro impresses its users not only with its sharpness out of the box, but also with the care it puts into 3 things you notice over long-term use
And this is the spirit of caring for customers from the heart (OMOTENASHI)
Tojiro's motto, and the reason it won the Good Design Award*
Craftsmanship from Tsubame-Sanjo
Beyond the razor sharpness that Tojiro knives must have, Tojiro also pays intense attention to beauty and practical usability. For Tojiro, every knife is not just a product but a cultural ambassador that carries the pride of Japanese knives handed down over hundreds of years
Today Tojiro combines the skill of local craftsmen in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, with the precision of technology that surpasses the human hand. Every step uses the most suitable technique, from forging and hardening to angle adjustment and sharpening
Value recognised by chefs worldwide
Chefs and knife-rating institutions around the world regard Tojiro as a great-value knife, one of the best brands in the world for sharpness per price. That makes it ideal for businesses that want knives that are worth the money
Tojiro also offers a wide range of knife styles, from Japanese Traditional Style for work such as sushi and sashimi, to Western Style such as all-purpose knives, slicers, paring knives and petty knives. Each type also comes in several steels to choose from, suiting both budget and performance
