[SET] Tojiro Basic VG-10 [santoku + petty]
TOJIRO's newest "BASIC" series features a timeless, minimalist design. The knives are designed for home use and offer an excellent quality-price ratio. The VG-10 steel core provides satisfying sharpness and good edge retention, and the ergonomic pakka wood handle offers a comfortable grip.
The set consists of a small petty and a multi-purpose santoku knife:
→ Santoku shape is the most popular knife shape in Japanese cuisine. So you can be sure that it will work well as a multipurpose knife in your kitchen as well. Dicing, slicing and chopping are the preferred cutting techniques with santoku knives.
→ Petty knives are basically a smaller version of gyutos or chef's knives, meant for all those smaller tasks where larger and wider knives are considered unwieldy. This small all-purpose knife, which no kitchen should be without, is used for peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables. Its compact size and relatively narrow blade also makes it very maneuverable.
STEEL:
This knife set is part of TOJIRO's Basic knife series, which features the popular VG-10 core steel.
LAMINATION:
The core layer is clad into 2 layers of softer steel (san-mai lamination).
GEOMETRY:
It has a double bevel (symmetrical) blade.
BLADE FINISH:
The blade has a simple Migaki look.
HANDLE:
The handle is made of sturdy and relatively light pakka wood (no padding), allowing for an ergonomic and fatigue-free grip. The handle is equipped with three rivets for secure fastening, reducing the possibility of cracks in the handle.
