Our expert's recommendation:
"We recommend this knife to lovers of special edges and to those who are very demanding about the perfection of their tools. It does no harm to learn a little Japanese before use – not the language, but the world of fine, refined movements. Without it, a Tojiro knife does not really work. The inimitably thin cutting edge, worthy of a razor blade, cannot tolerate the 'rough' movements of a European hand, nor a slight 'collision' with a cutting board. If, however, you cut with it gently, you will experience a cutting sensation you never dreamed of."

Further manufacturer information:
Forging various nickel-containing steels creates an elegant ripple pattern, increases the density and uniformity of the super-hard steel, and ultimately produces maximum sharpness. The handle is hygienic, made entirely of stainless steel, whose "tornado pattern" prevents a wet or greasy hand from slipping.
