The TOJIRO BASIC 2-Piece Set pairs a versatile 200mm gyuto with a nimble 135mm petty, giving you a complete foundation for everyday kitchen work. These knives are engineered with a well-balanced blade thickness that delivers excellent control, smooth cutting feel, and easy maneuverability. Built with TOJIRO’s proven VG10 core steel, they offer impressive sharpness and edge retention while remaining approachable and easy to maintain.
Both knives feature san mai construction with a VG10 cutting core clad in 13 chrome stainless steel for added durability and corrosion resistance. The convex grind helps support the edge and improves cutting performance, while the half-blasted finish gives the blades a clean, refined look. Handles are reinforced black pakka wood in a classic three-rivet Western style, offering a secure, comfortable grip. This set is an outstanding value for home cooks looking to step into high-performance Japanese cutlery.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately after use. Do not use on hard items like bones or frozen foods. Use a quality whetstone for sharpening and avoid dishwashers to preserve edge life and handle condition.

Guests and my Daughter often will cook in my Adirondack Camp in Summer. Obviously, my 'good' knives are out of sight. But these 'also good' knives are a perfect solution. Buy the Nakiri and Santoku at the same time. For less than $170 you have a nicely complementary 4 knife set - and the blades are comparable in sharpness, hardness, thinness, and cutting pleasure to many $170+ of my 'good' knives.
