Flash Professional Series The premium Flash series features up to 63 layers of beautiful Damascene steel known as "floating mist". This multiple-layering technique creates an extremely sharp, hard primary cutting surface of VG-10 steel surrounded by layers of high and low-carbon steel, which lend the knife exceptional flexibility and strength. Ergonomic handles of Micarta, a linen-resin composite, feature a stainless steel decorative inlay. A favorite with professional chefs, the Flash series is also suitable for culinary enthusiasts.

Sharakumono Series Developed by acclaimed designer Komin Yamada, Tojiro's new Sharakumono knives are elegant, lightweight, and ergonomic. Blades are crafted from molybdenum vanadium steel, yielding a very sharp cutting edge and offering improved corrosion resistance. Bolsterless, integrated handles are hygienic, comfortable and food safe. They're an excellent and stylish addition to the well-equipped kitchen.

DP3 Series Entry-level DP3 knives feature a high carbon cobalt alloy core cutting edge sandwiched between two layers of 13-chrome stainless steel. Handles are made of extremely durable ECO wood (resin-impregnated woods) and have forged bolsters. The DP3 series offers very affordable entry into high-quality Japanese cutting power.

DP Damascus Series Mid-level DP Damascus knives feature a high carbon cobalt alloy core cutting edge overlaid with 37 layers of high and low-carbon steel, giving the knives balanced flexibility and strength. Each knife is available with a choice of handle styles. Durable ECO wood forged bolster handles enhance knife durability, while natural wood non-bolstered handles provide value and a natural appearance.

Traditional Japanese Series With traditional single-bevel edges of premium-quality stainless steel and natural magnolia wood handles, these supersharp knives are popular for preparing Japanese cuisine.

Traditional Chinese Series These bolsterless, wood-handled chopping knives consist of a ultrasharp, high carbon cobalt alloy core sandwiched between two layers of 13-chrome stainless, and are available with thin or regular width blades.

For over one thousand years, Japanese sword and knife makers have been renowned for crafting the world's sharpest, hardest, and most refined blades. Tojiro, one of Japan's top knife makers, still follows ancient techniques handed down by generations of master smiths to handcraft knives for the 21st century. All Tojiro knives are painstakingly made at their Niigata, Japan factory.

GUiDe To wheTSTone SharPeninG

To maintain a keen edge on your Tojiro knives, we highly recommend periodic honing with a whetstone. Our most popular whetstone is Tojiro’s 1000/3000 combination stone, but you may wish to start with a coarser grit for dull or damaged knives and fine-tune your edge using a high grit stone. Tojiro recommends sharpening using the “70/30” rule - spend 70% of your time honing the primary cutting side of your knife, and 30% on the reverse side removing burrs. If you’re right-handed, the primary cutting side is the right side of the knife when held in a natural cutting position; if you’re left-handed, it’s the left side of the knife.

Double edge whetstone Sharpening

Submerge the whetstone in water till there are no visible air bubbles.

#1

Holding the angle, run the blade back and forth starting with the tip using your other hand to apply pressure.

#4

Remove the burrs from the back of the blade by turning the knife to face away from you again at a 45° angle to the stone, and tilted 15°.

#7

Hold the knife firmly in your primary hand, blade down, secur-ing the flat of the blade with your thumb.

#2

Check the back of the blade for burrs, this means that you are taking metal off the blade and sharpening it.

#5

Work the back of the blade lightly from tip to heel until all burrs are removed checking regularly.

#8

45º

15º

Position the knife facing you at 45° to the centre line of the stone, with the blade tilted to 15°.

#3

Continue working in sections from the tip to the heel of the blade, repeating steps 4 and 5 till burrs emerge from the entire back edge

#6

To refine the edge select a finer stone and repeat the process.
