Tojiro DP Santoku Knife

VG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time. Because it is clad in softer stainless steel layers, the blade remains easier to sharpen and maintain than a solid high-carbon blade.

Yes, the knife features a double-edged, symmetrical grind. This makes it fully ambidextrous and comfortable to use regardless of your dominant hand.

The 170mm length is a classic 'all-purpose' size. It is compact enough for precise tasks like mincing herbs or dicing vegetables, yet long enough to handle larger proteins or produce without feeling cumbersome.

The composite wood handle is designed for durability and moisture resistance, making it more stable than traditional natural wood. While it is low-maintenance, you should still hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use to preserve the handle and blade finish.

A full tang means the steel of the blade extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides excellent structural integrity, improved balance, and a solid, secure feel in your hand during repetitive cutting tasks.
