Made in Japan, the Tojiro Classic 3-Layer (A-1 series) is the most affordable collection in their entire lineup. Featuring a solid half-tang construction, the blade is crafted with a reputable VG-10 core and 13-chrome cladding. This combination ensures the blade not only maintains a sharp edge due to its high carbon content but also offers excellent rust resistance. With a thinner blade geometry, this series delivers exceptional performance for its price.

Santoku knives are the ‘go-to’ knives for many chef's as they are known as a general-purpose kitchen knife. Santoku translates to 'three uses' or 'three virtues' and are ideal for slicing, chopping, and dicing as they feature a straight edge with a narrow foot blade. They are highly appreciated by users doing a lot of precision work thanks to the light, narrow blade, which can make extra thin cuts. While they are greatly suited for all, because of their smaller size, they tend to heavily please the chefs with smaller hands.
