Essential Performance: The Tojiro Basic Santoku
The Tojiro Basic Santoku offers an accessible introduction to high-performance Japanese cutlery, bringing professional sharpness to everyday home cooking. Its VG10 cutting core is paired with a simple, lightweight handle design, creating a nimble knife for slicing, dicing and chopping. For home cooks who appreciate sharpness and straightforward functionality, it delivers the cutting performance Tojiro is known for in a practical, easy-to-handle form.
Engineered for Pure Cutting
The blade features a VG10 core clad in 13-chrome stainless steel. This “San Mai” (3-layer) construction combines a hard cutting core for sharpness and edge retention with corrosion-resistant outer layers for straightforward maintenance. Its convex-ground blade supports a durable edge that can be resharpened, while the partially blasted finish gives it an understated appearance.
The bolster-free, half-tang construction keeps the knife’s weight to just 130 g, making it comfortable to manoeuvre during everyday preparation. The handle is crafted from pakkawood—a durable, water-resistant material made from compressed, laminated wood layers—and is securely fastened with three rivets for a firm, stable fit.
