Tojiro® - The Company

The history of TOJIRO® knives began with the manufacture of stainless steel fruit knives that was released in 1955. At that time, it is said that the stainless steel blades were not quite sharp compared to carbon steel. Therefore, TOJIRO® has continued to manufacture "cutting-edge knives", continuously improving and progressing  their manufacture. Today, its corporate message is "more than just plain sincerity". It wants to deliver not only sincerity but also the feeling that a knife fits comfortably into your hands. She continues her efforts to carefully build knives so that a unique TOJIRO® knife offers the greatest satisfaction to her customers.

Covered steel is the material most used in its production, which is forged in the same way as the traditional Japanese sword "Katana" from Tamahagane..

Both tradition and innovation exist in its production process. Its knives are produced with traditional techniques and modern industrial technology, so they are held with the highest respect not only in Japan, but around the world.
