Best To Use

(click on icons for more knives)

Tojiro ZEN knife set includes 3 knives from Tojiro's Zen line of knives. An affordable way to get three matching knives that will very likely cover all your cutting needs. A 210mm (8.3") gyuto will be your go-to multi-purpose knife for most cutting tasks, a smaller 130mm (5.1") petty knife will cover all the smaller tasks on and off the cutting board, and a shorter, 90mm (3.5") paring knife for all those in-hand tasks (peeling, carving, trimming). The knives are safely stored in a decorative black knife box.

All three knives are made of the proven VG-10 steel with the hardness of 61 HRC. The outer two layers of softer stainless steel form a "shinogi' line along the entire edge of the blade. Shinogi line represents the border between the harder, inner VG-10 steel and the outer layer of softer steel.

The blade extends into a traditional Japanese round Wa handle made of the common wood for Japanese handles - magnolia wood - with a black plastic ferrule. The handle has an emphasized angle for a better grip, which makes it more suitable for right-handed users.
