Tojiro Origami | Santoku (Japanese Chef Knife)

 This is a really cool and yet affordable knife. The shape and build is inspired from traditional japanese Origami. The knife is finely crafted by using one piece of steel which is carefully folded into the whole knife.

This is a very unique knife, crafted in a very unique way. It comes in two presentations, polished steel and the Origami Black which is coated in black oxide and then polished. 

• Blade is made of High Carbon Stainless Steel
• Handle: is made of High Carbon Stainless Steel
  
• This knife has no welding process involved, made from a folded metal sheet,
• High resistance to corrosion through the aid of Black Oxide film development (Origami Black)
• Handcrafted in Japan

This is a santoku knife, the Japanese version of the chef’s knife. The shape of the blade of the santoku is, unlike a chef’s knife, practically the same alongside the entire length of the blade and only has a slight curve a couple centimeters from the tip towards the spine. In addition, the Santoku is lighter and shorter than its European brother which makes the Santoku very popular.
