TOJIRO knives come from Sanjo City, Japan, and the CLASSIC line — formerly known as the Tojiro DP — has earned its place as one of the most widely recommended introductions to Japanese kitchen knives in the world. The knives are completely unchanged from the DP line. Only the name is new.
This 2-piece set pairs a 170mm santoku with a 120mm petty — a combination that handles the vast majority of daily kitchen tasks with ease. The santoku covers all-purpose prep work including vegetables, proteins, and herbs, while the petty handles detail work, trimming, peeling, and smaller tasks where the santoku would feel like too much knife. Both knives feature a VG-10 stainless steel core for exceptional sharpness and edge retention, clad in softer stainless steel for toughness and easy sharpening. The full-tang black micarta handles are secured with three rivets and finished with stainless bolsters for a clean, hygienic transition from blade to handle.
Care Instructions:
Hand wash and dry both knives promptly after use and avoid the dishwasher. Do not use on bones, frozen foods, or hard crusts. Sharpen on quality water stones and hone regularly to maintain peak performance.
