Product Description
This Tojiro peeling knife has a birds beak profile to it, which is traditionally used for peeling and cleaning vegetables (hence the name “peeling knife). The birds beak profile is great for removing small blemishes like the eyes of a potato. A peeling knife is often used in a thumb press style, using you thumb to push produce towards the blade. Be careful though this bad boy is sharp.
This Tojiro peeling knife comes from the Senkou range, which is characterized by high end VG10 steel, clad in a beautiful 33 layer Damascus finish. The knife is going to be very sharp straight out of the box and wont regularly need sharpening, but give it some love from time to time and this little demon will keep you peeling for years to come.
The handle is an absolute super star on this Tojiro series. A small oval section of the tang is exposed through the black FDA approved Micarta handle to give a unique style. Handle is a decent handful and has a nice weight about it. Micarta is a resin and fabric combination that is completely water proof and very hygienic making it perfect for both home and professional use.
This is certainly the Rolls Royce of peeling knives.
Tojiro Japan
The history of Tojiro knives started with a stainless steel fruit knife that was released in 1955. At that time, at that time stainless steel was not the same standard as it is today and carbon steel was considered far superior. Tojiro began to develop superior stainless steel products, partnering with steel makers to develop and improve the quality of the stainless steel. This was the beginning of a company wide philosophy that dictates that, while sharpness is certainly important, ergonomics and maintainability are also important. Tojiro knives are designed to bring joy to their users in every way.
At Modern Cooking we see the Tojiro range as a fantastic product, which is suited to home and professional use. The knives are well made and feature superior quality steels, craftsmanship and design.
