Tojiro DP Eco Japanese Chef Knife 18cm – Black, Riveted Handle

Since its foundation in 1955, TOJIRO has become one of the most popular and important brands of Japanese kitchen knives for home cooks and professional chefs. Tojiro knives are manufactured in Niigata, Japan, and they are distinguished for their great design and cutting performance. This explains why the brand is now very well-known even in big Western markets such as the European or the North American one.

The Tojiro DP Eco Japanese Chef knife is a great option for you to experience the great quality offered by Tojiro and for you to equip your kitchen with polyvalent knife for preparing all sorts of delicious meals. This Japanese chef knife – also called gyuto – can be used to mince and ice your fruits and vegetables as well as to cut meat. It is a truly an “all terrain” kitchen tool!

In addition to its ability of cutting a great variety of food ingredients with great ease, the blade of this knife also has a great resistance to corrosion because it is made of stainless steel enriched with molybdenum and vanadium. On top of that, as it is the case for most Japanese knives, the blade has a high level of hardness (58 HRC in Rockwell scale) that is a proof of its strength and robustness.

Moreover, this chef knife has a black handle that is made of POM, which is a synthetic material of high quality characterised for its durability and hygienic properties. The construction of the handle provides an optimal level of equilibrium to the knife, which enables you to have a more pleasant and ergonomic use of the knife.

This knife is part of the DP Eco series, which is one of the most popular knife ranges made by Tojiro. The DP Eco knives are distinguished for their great cutting performance and their simple but authentic design. These knives are very popular because they offer a great price-quality ratio and can be used in both domestic and professional environments.

One characteristic that differentiates DP Eco knives from the rest of Japanese knives (even though DP Eco knives are also made in Japan) is their look. In fact, these knives have handles with three rivets, which provide a very Western look to the knife. Furthermore, another way in which DP Eco knives differ from most Japanese knives is that these ones are dishwasher safe!
