R1,800.00
Sakai Kikumori
With a passionate devotion to knife-making as well as working with some of the most skilled craftsman in Japan, Sakai Kikumori has been making cutlery of incredible quality and performance since its inception in 1926.
The NAB range from Sakai Kikumori is machine forged with a blue carbon steel # 2 Steel core and cladded with stainless steel. It’s important to note that a bit of extra care will be needed on the blade’s cutting edge. This is where the High Carbon steel is exposed. The rest of the blade face is stainless steel and super easy to maintain. Over time, the cutting edge will form a beautiful patina that will protect the blade from corrosion. Wash the blade properly after use and make sure to dry correctly. We always use a paper towel to dry our knives as it absorbs all the moisture from the edge.
Blue carbon steel is known for its good edge retention, sharpness and ease of sharpening.
Petty

The petty knife is perfect for smaller working surfaces, cutting smaller sized produce if for users with smaller hands. Its comparison to the Gyuto makes it the ultimate small-sized all-rounder and professional cooks prefer it for its compact size and versatility. It can be used to peel, slice, dice, mince and trim a variety of smaller fruits, vegetables, herbs, garnishes and proteins. It is perfect for light butcher work and delicate tasks such as making precision cuts. The blade profile is well suited for thrust-cutting while the belly allows for rock-cutting.
The Petty knife is generally larger than a Western petty knife. Similar to the Gytuo the Petty knife’s heel to belly is quite flat with a rounded profile to the tip. The sharp, double-bevel edge makes this knife ambidextrous and is the perfect companion in a small kitchen with limited workspace or for users with smaller hands.

Tojiro is one of the few manufactures in Japan that performs all of its manufacturing processes in-house. They choose this path of integrated in-house production, from the careful selection of materials to after sale service.

As knives are tools that people directly take into their hands to use, Tojiro values the skills of producers, which are the foundation of manufacturing, and keep a close eye on all processes until each craftsman at TOJIRO is completely satisfied.

The Tojiro Color series is made from Molybdenum Vanadium steel. It is a low chromium stainless steel that has proven, over time, to be a very good compromise between toughness, strength, edge holding and resistance to corrosion.
It has added Vanadium to give the steel more hardness. This steel is very easy to sharpen but it will dull relatively quickly compared to high-carbon steel.
