Tojiro Senkou knives are superbly crafted cutting implements designed for use by the worlds best chefs. Over one thousand years of Japanese sword making tradition has informed the modern day craftsman and the result is a technically advanced knife utilising the very latest materials.
A perfect blade needs to be hard, but also strong and flexible. In many respects, these features can be contradictory. The harder the steel the more fragile it becomes.
The extremely hard steel used by Tojiro allows the knives to be sharpened to a more acute angle and to emerge from the factory with a razor sharp edge. If the knives were made solely of this hard steel, however, they would be inflexible and brittle, breaking easily if dropped or misused.
The solution lies in using the process of lamination to cushion the super hard inner core by adding outer layers of stainless steel. The result is a knife as flexible and strong as any single layer
knife, but with the cutting edge that is harder, sharper and lasts longer.
Celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal, columnist for
the Sunday Times and owner of the 3-Michelin starred Fat Duck restaurant in Bray, officially endorses
the Tojiro Senkou knife range
after he found them to be his favourite knives. He also equips all of
his staff with the Tojiro Senkou range.
