Handle is made from magnolia and has good water resistance. Weight of Tojiro Shirogami Tako-Sashimi F-912 knife is 110g. Like the Yanagi Sashimi knife the Tako sashimi knife is a specialist Japanese blade for slicing fish. It is discernible from the regular Yanagi Knife by the flat end to the blade. Specifically the Tako part stands for octopus in English. The knife is generally used in the Tokyo area of Japan as a octopus slicer, but the knife can be used to fillet and medium sized fish. Like other traditional Japanese knife blades, this knife has a bevel on only one side of the blade, to help achieve even slices.
Please, use your carbon knives carefully. It is not recommended for such knives - to wash in dishwasher, to leave it in water, to clean by acid liquids, to cut acid fruits like lemon. Hand-dry your knife: This should be done immediately after washing with a clean dishtowel. Rub with mineral oil. If you notice any rust spots, rub a light layer of mineral oil and let dry.
Tojiro was founded in 1955 in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, Japan as Fujitora. The history of TOJIRO knives began with a stainless steel fruit knife. At that time, stainless steel blades were considered not sharp enough in Japan compared to carbon steel. Therefore, TOJIRO focused on the cutting properties of knives, making their slogan “More than just sharpness”.
In 2000, the brand officially changed its name to Tojiro, focusing on the production of world-class kitchen knives. Since the factory is located in a region that has historically been a center of metalworking, TOJIRO values tradition. The company combines ancient hand-forging technologies with modern steel processing methods. For example, the DP (Decarburization Prevention) method prevents carbon loss during heat treatment, maintaining the hardness of the blade (60-61 HRC).
The TOJIRO factory itself also combines handcrafted craftsmanship with automated quality control processes. Each knife goes through dozens of stages: from forging and hardening to manual sharpening and polishing. Both carbon and high-tech multilayer steels are used in production, including the popular VG-10, which holds an edge perfectly. Our exclusive film about the Tojiro factory in Japan is available on the MyGoodKnife YouTube channel. You can see with your own eyes how Tojiro knives are created and see how blacksmiths create blades by hand, as well as the sharpening and polishing process.
Our assortment includes both classic TOJIRO series - DP, Basic, Shippu, Zen, Damascus Flash and others, as well as new ones - Sakuya, Reppu. Each series of knives includes the most popular models: chef's knife gyuto, santoku, nakiri, vegetable and utility knives. TOJIRO also produces classic Japanese knives with single-sided sharpening for sushi and sashimi, fish cutting.
TOJIRO also produces high-quality sharpening stones and accessories, including sharpening angle stabilizers and combined stones for finishing and basic sharpening. This ensures that the knife will serve you for decades with proper care.
