The 180mm chef knife is the most compact full-size option in the TOJIRO Color Series - a practical choice for smaller kitchens, cooks who prefer a lighter knife, or as a complement to a longer blade in a professional kit. TOJIRO has been making knives in Tsubame, Niigata Prefecture since 1955, and the Color Series is the line professional kitchens reach for when they need reliable performance, easy maintenance, and a handle color that identifies knives quickly on a busy line.
At 180mm blade length and 38mm height this knife is noticeably more maneuverable than a 210mm in tight spaces while retaining the versatility of a proper chef knife profile. The black handle is understated and professional - the right choice for kitchens that want Color Series performance without a brightly colored handle. Molybdenum vanadium stainless steel at 57-59 HRC holds a solid working edge through sustained kitchen use and resharpens quickly on quality water stones or a ceramic rod. The thin grind improves cutting efficiency across all tasks. Antibacterial elastomer handle is comfortable and easy to clean.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after use. Avoid the dishwasher for best longevity. Use a wood or soft synthetic cutting board. Avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard surfaces. Sharpen on quality water stones or a ceramic rod.
