Japan has a long tradition of knife manufacturing. Over one thousand years ago, Japanese swordsmiths developed the art of sword making to provide strong, sharp blades for the Samurai, the feared warrior caste.

Tojiro have adopted many of these traditional techniques in producing knives for the 21st Century which incorporate the same multi - layered blades so painstakingly produced by masters in the past, and which both look and perform as well in a kitchen as their pred ecessors did in the fields.

Each knife is carefully manufactured in Japan.
